Along the road in the small downtown area of Jamul is a boulder with this benchmark disk embedded in it. Because of its condition, it looks like the boulder was tumbled around by a bulldozer when it was disturbed from its original location by construction.

To get to the benchmark, from Highway 94, take Proctor Valley Road south at the stoplight in Jamul. Turn east on Maxfield. Traveling west on Highway 94, turn left on Maxfield Road where the post office is. The boulder is on the north side of Maxfielf Road.
