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.

You can find this mark at the northwest corner of New Gross Point Rd and Howard St - this is the main intersection, as opposed to the smaller, nearby end of Old Gross Point Rd. The coordinates should take you there. The mark is embedded in the sidewalk there.
