About This Item

Buttermilk_Benchmark_Sat_Silver.jpe

Benchmark Coin Series, Buttermilk Hill
Buttermilk is the oldest surviving survey mark in the United States.


In September 2006, retired NOAA Corps Commander George E. Leigh recovered the survey mark designated BUTTERMILK that was set by Hassler in 1833, just north of New York City. It is the oldest existing first-order (high accuracy) survey point in the country.

The point was marked by a drill hole 2.5 inches in diameter and 10 inches deep. Today, the hole is filled with concrete with an iron pipe set in the center. The nearby survey disk was set by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1932. The nearby bronze plaque was set as part of the U.S. Bicentennial activities in 1976, to commemorate BUTTERMILK.
