THORNTON 2 RM 6 — NGS KK1740

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which serves as the fundamental framework for geodetic control across the United States. Trigonometric stations like this point are established to provide precise horizontal positioning data essential for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects. Located in the vicinity of Thornton, Colorado, at coordinates 39.87137° North, 104.97949° West, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure. As a trig point, it would historically have served as a reference for surveying operations and may be intervisible with other control stations. The documented coordinates place this station within Colorado's Front Range region. Verification and maintenance of such geodetic reference points remain important for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of modern positioning systems, including GPS networks and local survey work. Professional surveyors rely on these established stations to validate measurements and maintain spatial consistency across projects.
