As described by the Coast and Geodetic Survey ("CAS") in 1935:
"THIS STATION IS ABOUT 0.9 MILE N OF BROOKSHIRE, ABOUT 13 MILES E OF SEALY. THE MARK IS SET ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IN AN UNFENCED STRIP ON THE W SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT IS 60 FEET W OF THE CENTER LINE OF THE ROAD, 36 FEET E OF FENCE LINE. MARK PROJECTS 8 INCHES."
The CAS/CGS description is pretty accurate and should definitely assist future seekers in finding this benchmark -- alternatively, one can use the gallery images for any future attempt at actual recovery. The most recent associated NGS Data Sheet's coordinates are pretty accurate as well.
Below are some additional facts, per the NGS database (with some editing for length): (
