This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental reference framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Douglas County, Colorado, at coordinates 39.56576° N, 104.66072° W with an ellipsoidal elevation of 1867.0 meters, this trig point serves as a control station for horizontal and vertical positioning.
Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed to create interconnected networks of known positions, enabling surveyors to reference local and regional work to the national datum. Modern surveying professionals utilize such benchmarks for verification, validation of GPS/GNSS observations, and ensuring accuracy in boundary surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems development. Documentation and periodic reobservation of these reference points remain valuable for maintaining geodetic infrastructure integrity and supporting survey quality assurance.
