This triangulation station represents part of the National Geodetic Survey's foundational control network that establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located in Faulkner County, Arkansas, at coordinates 34.94361° north latitude and 92.43861° west longitude, this trig point serves as a fixed reference for horizontal positioning in its region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to provide accurate geodetic control across large areas through intervisible networks of precisely measured points. Modern surveyors and geospatial professionals rely on verification and documentation of such benchmarks to maintain survey accuracy and continuity. Even legacy control points with incomplete elevation records retain value as positional references. Recovery and reobservation of these marks support ongoing quality assurance in surveying networks and contribute to understanding long-term crustal deformation and datum stability.
