This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping activities throughout the United States. Located on the Island of Hawaii near Hilo, this point serves as a reference for local and regional geodetic work. Trigonometric stations function as horizontal control monuments, enabling surveyors to determine precise positions and distances for property surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic applications. The NGS network provides essential infrastructure for civilian and government surveying operations. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain important for maintaining geodetic accuracy over time. As reference points may be disturbed or destroyed, current positional records ensure continuity of the control network and allow surveyors to validate their work against established standards. This point's coordinates contribute to the overall stability and reliability of geodetic data for the Hawaiian Islands region.
