This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which forms the foundation of the United States' horizontal geodetic control infrastructure. Located near Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii at coordinates 19.73432°, -155.00396°, this trig point serves as a reference for surveying and mapping activities across the Hawaiian Islands region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to create networks of precisely positioned points used for large-scale surveys and the development of accurate maps. Such monuments provide surveyors with reliable control points for local and regional measurements, supporting land surveys, engineering projects, and geospatial applications. The documentation and verification of benchmark locations remains important for maintaining the integrity of geodetic networks. Current surveyors and GIS professionals rely on these established reference points to ensure consistency and accuracy in their work throughout Hawaii.
