Geodetic Survey Monument
A pyramidal monument atop King Mountain in Gatineau Park. The monument commemorates the first geodetic survey triangulation station, which was set-up on this point in 1905. The subsequent Geodetic Survey of Canada went on to create a set of nationwide precision triangulation points that were (and are) used in mapping, navigation, geology, and for other georeferencing needs.
