This U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey triangulation station disk is on the south edge of Shawnee Airport, on the north side of W Independence Street at the intersection with N Kennedy Avenue. The bronze disk is set in a concrete monument and is stamped SHAWNEE AIRPORT and two years, 1957 and 1967. The airport fence-line is well tended and the monument is easy to see. Thanks to the City of Shawnee for letting this little piece of history remain for us to visit.
