This NGS triangulation station is located near Hilo, Hawaii, at latitude 19.72595° N and longitude 155.07114° W. As a trig point, it serves as a precise ground control marker within the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the authoritative horizontal datum framework across the United States and its territories. Triangulation stations of this type provide fundamental reference points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects throughout their respective regions. The Hawaii station network contributes essential positional control for the island's cadastral surveys, infrastructure development, and scientific research. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain critical to maintaining geodetic integrity and ensuring that derivative surveys and measurements maintain reliable accuracy standards. Regular confirmatory observations help detect potential monument displacement or environmental changes affecting reference point stability.
