The benchmark is located onto of the 1756 Mason-Dixon marker. Because 3/4 of the mark is in Maryland, I have listed the state/province in Maryland. This specific marker is the called the Mid-Point as it's about in the middle of the DelMarVa peninsular, half way along the transpeninsular line where is bisects the mason dixon line heading north.
