This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental horizontal and vertical control for mapping and surveying throughout the United States. Triangulation points serve as fixed reference stations for precise positioning and are integral to geodetic infrastructure. Located in Hawaiʻi County, Hawaii, this benchmark provides essential positional control for the Hawaiian Islands region. The coordinates 19.55483°N, 155.96575°W place it within the state's survey network. Trig stations of this type were historically used to extend accurate control networks across areas where conventional ground surveys were impractical. Verification and documentation of existing benchmarks remain valuable for surveyors, engineers, and GIS professionals who depend on reliable reference points for their work. Maintaining accurate records of these monuments ensures continued access to validated geodetic control for modern surveying applications and spatial data development.
