ABSTRACT
Niue Island is situated in the South Pacific Ocean approximately 480 km east of Tonga, 550 km southeast of Samoa and 900 km west of Rarotonga. According to correspondence in 1998 from the Department of Justice, Lands & Survey Niue, The island is so flat that people do not have a triangulation system. What people have instead is a series of control traverses along the main roads around and across the island. They are primarily for cadastral survey. The very first survey of Niue was established in 1903 (or there about) by Harzard, a surveyor from New Zealand. He established the initial or origin station Tomb Point and also observed the Latitude and Longitude, however there is no record or information of the Grid System used. The traverse of 1965 was performed by Lee, and a few points were added to the list of cadastral control.
