This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the geodetic control framework fundamental to surveying, mapping, and infrastructure development across the United States. Trig stations serve as precisely positioned reference points used to support accurate positioning and alignment of surveys and projects over regional areas. Located at coordinates 21.57322°N, 158.27169°W in Hawaii, this benchmark contributes to geodetic coverage in the Pacific region. As a trig point within the NGS system, it has historically provided a stable reference for surveyors conducting terrestrial and marine boundary work, engineering surveys, and cartographic operations. Documentation and verification of such control points remain valuable for contemporary surveys, as they may serve as tie-in references for modern positioning technologies and quality assurance procedures. Current condition and accessibility information should be confirmed before field use.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
