U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Benchmark DM0393 - Clarksville, TX - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

The "2 1/2 BLOCKS W OF COURTHOUSE" reference is going to send you in the wrong direction, and it should say "SW" instead. The "W MAIN STREET" reference is what you want, and the bridge and the benchmark are in very good condition As of this posting, there is an empty store just east of the bridge, on the north side of the road.
