This mark is probably part of a survey of the Village of Skokie. It includes a couple dozen or so marks of high accuracy that made it into the NGS database, as well as these smaller, less protected, and presumably less accurate marks that dot the village.

This mark lies at the six-way intersection of Lockwood Ave, Gross Point Rd, and Greenleaf St. The mark is in a traffic island at the northwest section of the intersection, between Gross Point Rd and Lockwood Ave. It is about a foot south of a sign assembly with a No Right Turn sign on it.
