This station is a U. S. Geological Survey standard bench mark disk, located in Milford, NH. It is set vertically in the northeast buttress at the front entry of a stone church, on Elm Street, just west of the Oval. The disk was set by the USGS in 1903, and is in excellent condition. Many remaining marks of the 1903 USGS 'CONCORD' project are in pretty rough shape these days, given the time and wear they have endured.
The complete descriptions ( both NGS and NHDOT) can be had from the links below.
In some USGS topographic maps, the reference 'BM271' is under the name of the town; this may be a reference to the town's geographic center, but that is uncertain at this time. At any rate, the reference is for this mark in particular.
