This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational control for horizontal positioning across the United States. Trig stations serve as reference points for precise surveying, mapping, and engineering projects by providing accurately determined coordinates tied to the national datum. Located in the vicinity of Hilo on the Island of Hawaii, this benchmark occupies a strategic position within the archipelago's geodetic infrastructure. The coordinates 19.65495°, -155.08475° place it on or near significant terrain suitable for intervisibility with other control points. As with all NGS monuments, verification and documentation of this point's condition, accessibility, and coordinates remain valuable for surveyors and cartographers. Maintaining accurate records of such reference stations ensures the integrity of subsequent surveys and supports long-term spatial data consistency across the Hawaiian region.
