This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which forms the foundation of geodetic control for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located in King County, Washington, at coordinates 47.31256° N, 121.87940° W, this point serves as a reference for establishing accurate horizontal positions in regional surveys and engineering projects. Trig stations of this type typically occupy elevated or strategically visible locations to facilitate sightings between multiple control points. The NGS network enables surveyors, engineers, and geospatial professionals to tie local measurements to the national coordinate system with documented accuracy. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain essential for maintaining the integrity of geodetic control. Even where elevation data is not currently recorded, the horizontal position provides valuable reference value for professional surveying work in the Pacific Northwest region.
