MAKAKILO AERO BEACON 1963 — NGS TU1665 — Kapolei, US

This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the foundational geodetic control for the United States. Trigonometric stations of this type serve as reference points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across their respective regions. Located near Kapolei on the island of Hawaii, this benchmark provides horizontal control data at coordinates 21.36079° N, 158.07593° W. Such control points enable surveyors and cartographers to conduct accurate positional measurements and maintain consistency across multiple surveys and mapping initiatives. As part of the NGS infrastructure, this station contributes to the broader national spatial reference system. Verification and documentation of existing benchmarks remain important for quality assurance in geodetic work, particularly in regions where control density may be limited. Professionals undertaking surveys in this area should reference current NGS databases to confirm station status and any updated information regarding accessibility and condition.
