This benchmark is located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Woodlawn Road and 150th Street. Evidently, the marker has taken a significant hit by heavy machinery (or some other force) in the past. The top of the square concrete post that the mark is set in has been sheared off and now sits to the west of its base (the base is partially buried and significantly tilted into the embankment under a cedar tree). The broken pieces of this mark and its setting can be found about 40 feet to the northwest of the center of the road intersection.
