The current courthouse here is the third; the Classical Revival style building was constructed in 1934, so this disk predates the current courthouse by a few years. The disk is set in concrete and is nearly flush with the ground; the markings are worn by exposure but are still legible. The disk is stamped L 30 and dated 1932. Parking is a few feet away, and the disk is available for viewing at all times.

The coordinates of this waymark differ from those in the FG0993 Data Sheet. You may also be amused to note that the last two "official" searches for this disk were DNFs. Good thing we waymarkers are here to pick up the slack...
