PALIKEA — NGS TU1638 — Kapolei, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's legacy network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in the Kapolei area of Oahu, Hawaii, this trig point serves as a reference for local surveys, engineering projects, and geospatial applications throughout the Hawaiian Islands region. Triangulation stations of this class historically provided precise horizontal positioning through intersecting sight lines between multiple monuments. This particular point contributes to the broader NGS control network, enabling surveyors and mapping professionals to establish accurate local coordinate systems and validate survey work. Modern geodetic practice benefits from identifying, documenting, and verifying the continued stability of such points. Even monuments whose original documentation is incomplete retain value for understanding historical survey networks and for comparison with contemporary positioning technologies such as GNSS.
