AY0265 - G 963 - 1946; San Antonio, TX - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

AY025 - G 963 - 1946 is enclosed in a large concrete pipe and covered with a cast iron cover with "BENCHMARK" written into the metal of the lid. Lifting the heavy cover, you fond a simple, round bronze domed marker stamped with "G 963 1946" on it.

From the sidewalk or street, or from above, all an observer would see is a large metal lid, similar to a sewer manhole cover. The cover states it is covering a benchmark. The mark underneath does not state it is, but it is placed horizontally as a benchmark. The sidewalks around the SAC parking lot have recently been re-poured, and the lid has some smeared concrete across part of it.

Location of the benchmark is at the northeast corner of the intersection of E. Dewey Place and Ogden Street. Posted coordinates should get you to within feet of the actual placement.
