This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic control framework for the United States. Triangulation points like this serve as primary reference stations for surveyors, mapmakers, and engineers conducting precise positional work across the country. Located in Elbert County, Colorado, at coordinates 39.25083° N, 104.56861° W, this trig point contributes to regional geodetic networks essential for accurate surveying and mapping operations. Triangulation stations of this type were systematically established to provide horizontal control references before modern satellite positioning became standard. Documentation and verification of existing geodetic marks remain valuable for surveying professionals who conduct heritage surveys, validate historical control networks, and establish connections between older and contemporary positioning systems. Maintaining records of such points supports continuity in surveying practice and provides reference benchmarks for specialized applications requiring classical geodetic ties.
