USDI-GS TT 38 DRD is a US Department of Interior - Geological Survey bench mark disk that is mounted in the top of the north end of the west abutment of the bridge that carries Old Keene Mill Road (County Highway 644) over Pohick Creek. The station is about 20 feet north-northwest of the centerline of the westbound lanes of Old Keene Mill Road, about four feet north-northwest of the centerline of the sidewalk along the north side of the bridge, about two feet north-northwest of the west end of the round handrail along the north side of the bridge, in the center of the one-foot square flat portion of the abutment wall, about level with the sidewalk and about one foot above the level of the roadway. The disk is stamped TT 38 DRD 1960 RESET 1972.
