TERN LAKE — NGS PY1281 — Park County, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental control points for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Park County, Wyoming, at coordinates 44.66809°N, 110.25981°W with an ellipsoidal elevation of 2509.1 meters, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal and vertical control. Triangulation stations of this type historically provided precise geodetic positions for large-scale surveying operations, establishing a framework upon which subsequent surveys, mapping projects, and engineering works depend. The documentation and verification of such benchmark locations remain valuable for confirming positional accuracy, validating modern GPS and survey data, and maintaining continuity in the nation's geodetic infrastructure. Surveyors and geodetic professionals rely on proper record-keeping of these control points for quality assurance in contemporary positioning activities.
