FC0212 (T 233) USC&GS Benchmark Disk - Lenoir City, TN - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

A USGS benchmark disk set in the headwall of a bridge on Hickory Creek Rd in Lenoir City, TN. The benchmark is right next to the road so be mindful of traffic if you visit this disk. Hickory Creek Rd is not a very busy road but caution and common sense must still be used! There is no parking directly at the disk. I parked in a driveway to a barn just SW of the disk.
