This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the foundation of the United States' horizontal and vertical geodetic infrastructure. Located near Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, this trig point serves as a reference monument for surveying, mapping, and positioning activities throughout the region. The station's precisely documented coordinates and ellipsoidal elevation enable surveyors and engineers to establish local control networks and conduct accurate land surveys. Trig stations of this type have historically provided essential framework for cartographic work and boundary establishment. Verification and continued documentation of such monuments ensures the integrity of the geodetic reference system and supports both public and private surveying applications in Hawaii County. Maintaining access to and records of established control points remains critical for modern positioning applications and cadastral surveying.
