DESCRIBED BY NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY 1985 6.1 KM (3.8 MI) NORTH FROM GEORGETOWN. 6.1 KM (3.8 MI) NORTH ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 107 FROM THE JUNCTION OF U.S. HIGHWAY 7 IN GEORGETOWN TO THE MARK ON THE LEFT, IN THE NORTHEAST ANGLE OF THE JUNCTION OF STATE HIGHWAY 53, 11.8 METERS (39.0 FT) NORTHWEST OF THE CENTERLINE OF HIGHWAY 107, 10.8 METERS (35.5 FT) NORTHEAST OF THE CENTERLINE OF HIGHWAY 53. THE MARK IS 0.60 M ABOVE HIGHWAYS.

Although the datasheet designates this mark as '300', the original designation may be '667', which is visible just below the STATION incuse. The '300' stamping is the elevation of the disk. This is merely an observation, but for all intents and purposes, the station is designated '300'.

This mark is listed both here and in the Geocaching site as well. Please consider logging it in both sites when you find it. Thank you.
