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 on the south side of Old Orchard Road, about 0.35 mile east of SK008, about half way between Skokie Blvd and Gross Point Road. It is a quarter sized disk set in the top of a concrete post set into the ground, midway between the edge of the road and the fence for the adjacent cemetary.
Thanks to Shorelander for "lending" me the format for this description.
