Even the stump has since been removed, but it and the post-mounted historical marker are visible from a
2019 Google Street View. The marker has been embedded in a brick and mortar base, with an accompanying benchmark disk that may or may not have a functional purpose. For whatever reason, the Texas Historical Commission issued two separate historical markers in 1966. For more details, turn around, walk across the street, and have a good read.
Marker Number: 5881
Marker Text:
Used in early land surveys to indicate boundaries. Historical marker is on library grounds across street. (1966)
