FC0137(G 133) USC&GS Benchmark Disk - Loudon Co , TN - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

A USGS benchmark disk right off Hwy 70 (US-70) in Loudon County, TN. This disk is right off the highway at the base of a small, old bridge. The disk itself is kind of hidden by a guardrail. Caution must be taken when looking for the benchmark as you will be standing in the road (there's virtually no shoulder!)

I parked at N 35° 50.212 W 084° 19.258
