The benchmark is located in the sidewalk on the west end of the south side of the Tonawanda Creek Road North bridge over the Erie Canal. Not much can be determined from the mark as it has been badly scraped and marred. Elevation at this location is 595'.

To reach from the intersection of Millersport Hwy (NY Rt 263) and Transit Rd (NY Rt 78), go north on Transit Rd for 1/2 mile and turn left (west) onto Tonawanda Creek Road North. Travel 2.1 miles on Tonawanda Creek Road to the bridge over the Erie Canal and the mark on the left.
