Post is light gray granite 69 inches long 12 inches square with the top 18 inches dressed to 8 by 10 inches. Lettered on north side "MICHIGAN", on south side "OHIO", on east side "STATE LINE", and on west side "POST 34". Base of post embedded in concrete, top projects 18 inches above ground. This post is located in a cultivated field 113' north of the paved road. To Post 35, true bearing is N 87 14'00" E, at a distance of 5289.8 feet.
Also recovered near the post was an upside-down brown glass bottle, embedded in concrete. Obviously installed somewhat recently and much newer than the boundary post. See photos.
