This azimuth mark disk was found easily using the historic description. No changes are necessary. At the mark, my etrex receiver indicated 11.0 feet from the datasheet coordinates. The disk is in excellent condition and the designation and date are legible.

Control Text

  • The horizontal coordinates were established by classical geodetic methods and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in January 1992. No horizontal observational check was made to the station.
  • The NAVD 88 height was computed by applying the VERTCON shift value to the NGVD 29 height (displayed under SUPERSEDED SURVEY CONTROL.)
  • The Laplace correction was computed from DEFLEC99 derived deflections.
  • The geoid height was determined by GEOID99.
