Txdot R.O.W. STA. 300 in San Antonio, Texas USA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

A large odd shaped "island" of commercially developed land is found where the intersections created by the IH-10 Frontage Road, W. Wildwood Drive, Brad Street, and West Hermosa Drive. This property is within the central part of San Antonio, Texas, about 5 miles Northwest of downtown. This property has been used by various companies, usually displaying large commercial vehicles for rent or for sale. For some reason this property along the IH-10 frontage road has six (6) Texas Department of Transportation Right of Way Station disks monumented around three sides of this property! Only one of the disks is behind a chain link fence, but it was placed close enough to the fence where the disk can be seen and photographed through the chain link. The other five disks were placed close to a low barrier fence made of large sized pipe, which extends across the side facing the IH-10 Frontage Road and along part of West Wildwood Drive.

The bench mark for this waymarking entry is one of two disks found along West Wildwood Drive between its intersection with Brad Street and the IH-10 Frontage Road, along the North edge of this property. Specifically, it is at the Northeastern corner of the low pipe barrier fence at W. Wildwood and the IH-10 Frontage Road.

The bench mark is a round metal disk with an X or + symbol in the center of the disk. There are two rows of text stamped around the outer rim of the disk, some across the top and some across the bottom of the disk. Here is a description of what is stamped on this disk:

Across the top of the disk:
TEXAS DEPT. OF TRANSPORTARION
STA. 300
ELEV.

In the center of the disk is a center mark (+)

Across the bottom of the disk:
R.O.W.
