Located on the northeast side of the US-27 bridge over the C-9 Snake Creek Canal.

Note: Just east of the mark is a barrier of concrete debris with the word SNAKE spray-painted on it and an arrow pointing at the ground. This station is not located at the tip of where the arrow is pointing, although many people believed it to be there, as evidenced by the groove in the ground at that point. The mark is actually located on flat ground approximately 25 west-southwest of the tip of the arrow.
