This station, a U.S. Geological Survey standard bench mark disk, is located in East Fishkill, NY, near the Village of Stormville. It is set in a bridge that crosses Fishkill Creek, northwest from the junction of Phillips Road and Park Place:
The station is located in the town of East Fishkill, Dutchess County, NY.
Set flush in the top of the E wingwall of the S abutment of a bridge crossing a stream, about 100-ft NE from a junction of two roads, about 4-ft NE from edge of road, and 1-ft above level of road, a standard disk, stamped --MR15 1933 308--, and set horizontally.
At this time, USGS papers were unavailable for reference. There is no evidence that it is registered with NGS, hence no PID. Because of this, this station is not loggable at the Geocaching site. It is, however, very easy to locate.
