PAD — NGS TU1595

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational control points for the United States' surveying and mapping infrastructure. Trig stations serve as precisely positioned reference points for terrestrial surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic work. Located in Hawaii at 21.57233°N, 158.26679°W, this monument contributes to regional geodetic control in the Pacific. Triangulation stations like this enable surveyors and engineers to reference their local work to the national coordinate system with high accuracy. Documentation and verification of benchmark locations remain valuable for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network. Even points with incomplete records merit preservation efforts, as rediscovery and proper documentation can restore their utility for future surveying operations and historical geographic research.
