Benchmark is a brass disk marking the elevation above sea level. It can be found on the face of the third step from the top of the stairs to the rear entrance of the historic Carroll County, Maryland web site. The historic courthouse (not to be confused with the nearby current courthouse) is located at 45 Court Street in Westminster.

I found this while walking around Westminster, Maryland. In addition to being on neither the NGS nor geocaching.com web site, it is not listed on the Carroll County, MD Survey Control web site.
