Where the Consolidated canal passes under Main Street, the Geodetic Survey has placed the benchmark in the concrete structure of the flow control dam. It is a gray metal disk and around the outside is stamped For Information Or To Report Damage Write, Washington, D.C. Inside that, at the top is Vertical Control Mark. Below that, in the center, is C518, a center cross and 1992. Next lower is The Director and National Geodetic Survey. The marker is approximately 2 feet north of the northern edge of the sidewalk and 486 feet west of the middle of 22nd Place.
