This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points distributed throughout the United States and its territories. Located near Hilo on the Island of Hawaii, this benchmark serves as a foundational reference for horizontal and vertical control in the region. Trigonometric stations such as this are established to provide accurate geodetic positions essential for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects. The ellipsoidal elevation of 21.8 meters and precise coordinates form the basis for derivative surveys and property delineation across Hawaii County. As a component of the NGS's permanent control network, this point supports the nation's spatial reference framework and enables consistent datum realization throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Regular verification and documentation of such reference points ensures the integrity and reliability of the geodetic infrastructure upon which professional surveying and infrastructure development depend.
