This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes the primary geodetic framework for the United States. As a trig point, it serves as a control station for horizontal positioning and forms part of the foundation upon which surveying and mapping activities depend. Located at coordinates 21.48958°N, 158.18981°W in United States territory, this station contributes to the spatial reference system used by surveyors, engineers, and cartographers. The elevation value remains unrecorded in current registry documentation. Verification and documentation of such reference points are essential for maintaining geodetic infrastructure integrity. Current coordinate and elevation data should be field-verified to confirm suitability for contemporary surveying applications, particularly given the evolving precision standards in positioning technology. Professional surveyors should consult the NGS database directly for the most current station information and any adjustment history.

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.
