This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Hawaiʻi County, Hawaii, at coordinates 19.26659° N, 155.49421° W, this trig point serves as a precisely positioned reference for horizontal control. Triangulation stations like this one were historically instrumental in extending accurate geodetic networks across regions where conventional surveying methods faced practical limitations. Such points enable surveyors, engineers, and cartographers to tie local surveys to the national datum with documented precision. The preservation and verification of existing trig stations remain valuable for practitioners requiring established horizontal control monuments. Documentation of these reference points supports quality assurance in surveying operations and helps maintain continuity of the geodetic infrastructure for professional surveying activities.
