U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Benchmark DM0392 - Clarksville, TX - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

The Red River County Courthouse is located at 400 N Walnut Street, Clarksville, TX. Construction began in 1884, was completed in 1885, and a restoration took place in 2003. The remains of the disk are visible from the disk-shaped imprint and a splotch of white that sticks out on the cream-colored background of the courthouse. The documented history will place you right on the money, and maybe they even still have the disk inside the courthouse, in a drawer, and it'll make a quiet return one day.
