This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the horizontal geodetic framework for the United States. Trig stations of this type were historically observed and occupied during triangulation campaigns to create interconnected networks of precisely positioned reference points across the country. Located in Haakon County, South Dakota, this benchmark serves the region's surveying and mapping needs. As a component of NGS's control network, it provides a documented reference for surveyors, engineers, and cartographers conducting work in the area. The coordinates and network designation are maintained in NGS registries to enable recovery and verification of the point's location. Documentation and recovery of such benchmarks remains valuable for confirming the integrity of the geodetic network, supporting modern surveying operations, and maintaining continuity with historical survey work. Professionals should verify current monumentation and condition before use in critical applications.
