This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the backbone of the United States' geodetic infrastructure. Trig stations of this type were established to support precise horizontal positioning through triangulation methods, providing essential reference control for mapping, surveying, and engineering projects across the nation. Located near Rawlins, Wyoming, at coordinates 41.78764° N, 107.24128° W, this point serves the geodetic network in south-central Wyoming. Such monuments enable surveyors and engineers to establish accurate local control networks for property surveys, infrastructure development, and cartographic work. Verification and documentation of benchmark locations remain valuable to the surveying profession. Maintaining records of existing control points reduces redundant monumentation efforts and provides continuity in geodetic reference systems. Users should verify the current condition and accessibility of this station before field work.
