MA-1-21 - Machias, ME - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Though the witness sign referenced below no longer exists (it would have been a nuisance when mowing), the flagpole and the Blue Star Memorial sign remain in place, though it has been moved from the southwest to the northwest of the marker and is now closer to it. It is now in the vicinity of the extinct witness sign.
