This benchmark is sort of hidden behind a water tank for the Jackson East Taylor Water Authority. You can access this area by turning onto Mile Hill Rd. from route 22. There is a flashing yellow traffic light at the intersection. Once you turn south onto Mile Hill Rd. you can't miss the water tank on your left. There is a place for one car to park in front of the gate there. Walk up the hill go around the right side of the fence. Just outside the fenced in area is the benchmark.
