This is located in Tewksbury, Hunterdon County, not Somerset. This was actually an easy find. Go 375 feet north of the bridge, and look for a telephone pole about five feet above the road and west. Only one of those. Probe 1.9 feet south of the pole, and there it is, buried about an inch below ground level.
Hand-held GPS coordinates: N 40 40 48.9 W 074 43 18.9.

Control Text

  • The horizontal coordinates were scaled from a topographic map and have an estimated accuracy of +/- 6 seconds.
  • The orthometric height was determined by differential leveling and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in June 1991.
  • The geoid height was determined by GEOID99.
  • The dynamic height is computed by dividing the NAVD 88 geopotential number by the normal gravity value computed on the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 80) ellipsoid at 45 degrees latitude (g = 980.6199 gals.).
  • The modeled gravity was interpolated from observed gravity values.
