Washington County Benchmark No. 5 - Brenham, TX - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

A benchmark disk embedded in the first step of the concrete staircase leading up to the Washington County courthouse's northern entrance (NW site of the staircase), with the following inscriptions and stamping:

WASHINGTON COUONTY TEXAS
BENCHMARK [+ some illegible scriblings]
5
ELEV. 343.5
979-277-6200

Based on the "5" designation, the marker seems to be part of a series of benchmarks monumented by an official County office -- however, an extensive on-line search did not reveal any additional information as to which office placed this benchmark, or where other similar benchmarks might be located throughout the County.
