Located near Hawn State Park. Bushwhacking is required to get there, though the mark is along a trail of sorts. Mark is easily visible, between two metal posts, and next to a large tree that has a posted warning not to destroy the tree. Accessible from Hawn State Park.

Plotting the mark's location on a topo map shows it is at the intersection of 4 sections. This corresponds with the diagram on the center of the mark. The sections on the topo map are in 6 x 6 clusters. The "T36N R7E" markings refer to the Township and Range system, which is how many clusters north we are from a baseline, and how far east we are of a meridian.
