This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational control for horizontal positioning across the United States. Located in Hawaiʻi County, Hawaii at coordinates 19.49584°N, 155.89581°W, this benchmark serves as a survey control point for mapping, engineering, and land administration purposes. Trig stations of this type typically occupy elevated or strategically visible locations to facilitate intervisibility with other control points, enabling precise distance and angle measurements fundamental to geodetic networks. The NGS network remains essential infrastructure for surveyors, planners, and geospatial professionals requiring accurate reference coordinates for projects ranging from property surveys to large-scale mapping initiatives. Verification and documentation of such points preserves their utility for future surveying work and helps maintain the integrity of the geodetic datum across the Hawaiian Islands region.
