This slightly banged up bronze disk is set just NE of the center of a cement and brick patio and is less than 6" datum point to datum point from another (chiseled cross in marble) survey mark which is the official high point of Ohio.
This disk is located on the grounds of the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center NE of Bellfontaine, OH. From US 33 - head NE on E Sandusky Ave for approximately .5 mi to the Career Center & high point on the right. Follow the entrance drive to the S to the top of the low hill & park near the standpipe.
A Ohio Historical Marker on the W side of the patio notes that the US Coast & Geodetic Survey placed the marble stone at the highpoint in 1900 and measured the elevation at 1549.09 feet above sea level. This disk has no readable monumentation date and has no NGS PID.
