This is a triangulation (trig) station within the NGS geodetic network, positioned at 41.47946° N, 107.79613° W in Carbon County, Wyoming. As a trig point, it served as a control station for the systematic triangulation surveys that established the foundational horizontal control network across the United States. These stations enable surveyors and mapping professionals to reference their local work to the national geodetic datum. Trig stations of this vintage represent critical infrastructure for accurate surveying, mapping, and engineering projects. Their careful documentation and periodic verification maintain the integrity of the nation's spatial reference framework. The lack of recorded elevation data underscores the importance of field verification and contemporaneous documentation efforts. Surveyors working in this region should locate and examine this point to assess its current condition and utility for modern surveying applications, including those integrating with contemporary GPS and GNSS networks.
