This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the primary geodetic control framework across the United States and its territories. Located near Hilo, Hawaii at coordinates 19.72691°N, 155.08617°W, this trig point serves as a reference station for surveying and mapping operations in the Hawaiian Islands region. Triangulation stations of this type historically provided accurate positional control by establishing sight lines between elevated or prominent locations. This benchmark contributes to the broader network used for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographical documentation. The Hawaiian Islands present unique surveying challenges due to their remote oceanic location and volcanic terrain. Verification and proper documentation of such control points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of spatial data and ensuring consistency across surveying activities in the region. Regular confirmation of these reference monuments supports the long-term reliability of geodetic information for both public and private surveying work.
