This station, a U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey standard bench mark disk, is located in Nashua, NH. It is set in a concrete post on the north/northeast side of Amherst Street (NH 101-A), positioned in a small plot 2.0 ft above the road, between a driveway to the east adjacent a red brick office building (ASA International), and an ice cream stand (Bruster's) to the west, and behind a power pole with a switch crank, No. 63.

The complete datasheets (NGS and NHDOT) can be had at the links below. The NGS datasheet has needed some updating since there have been profound changes in locals since it's initial writing in 1942. A recent revision submittal was made to NGS to bring it up to date.

Good mark to visit in the summer, you can grab a cone or a hot dog when you're there. Enjoy!
