This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's passive control network, which establishes the fundamental horizontal datum for the United States. Trigonometric stations serve as primary survey monuments, providing precise geographic reference points for subsequent mapping, engineering projects, and land boundary determinations. Located in Hawaii at coordinates 21.57872° N, 158.16811° W, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure across the Pacific. The elevation has not been recorded in available documentation. Like all NGS control points, this station's value derives from its documented position and accessibility for verification by licensed surveyors. Regular confirmation of such monuments' integrity and continued monumentation ensures the reliability of the national spatial reference system. Professionals undertaking surveys in this region should consult current NGS data to verify the point's condition and positional accuracy.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
