The land was surveyed largely from triangulation. A base line of 14,600 feet was carefully measured with a hundred foot wire on the flat south of Reed's lower Ranch.
[page 181]
The angles were carefully taken by repetitions, by a 7 in queen Transit reading to minutes.

The principal stations were as follows:
Puunahaha, a line of bluffs about 3 miles below Rees's lower Ranch. A large pile of stones markes the station.
Ridge, a station well up on the ridge east of the mud flow, marked by a pile of stones;
Ainapo, a small ahua, a few hundred feet directly below Reed's upper ranch, marked by a pile of stones;
Kamakaiea, a scoria hill on the pahoehoe below the government road. There is a cluster of 3 or 4 hills here, the southernmost one being the station. A pile of stones marks the spot.
Wekehuna, on the bluff forming the outer northwestern edge of the crater of Kilauea, also on the Kau road, a pile of stones markes the place.
Kilohana, a ahua above the woods at mauka of lae ohia in woods, that is the boundary of this land and Kaalaala.
Mokuaweoweo, The lake in the crater. The light and smoke when clearly defined on a still day were triangulated to:
Puuulaula, the hill at the northeastern corner of this land.
