Utah/Wyoming Cornerstone - U.S. Historic Survey Stones and Monuments on Waymarking.com

This survey stone was placed in 1873 by astronomer and surveyor, A.V. Richards. It is interesting that the longitude line is listed as 34 degrees. This was 34 degrees west of Washington, D.C.

The USGS quad is RED HOLE. You the stone supports survey disk WYOMING SW CORNER, PID = LO0707 and sits on the boundary line
of Uinta County, WY, and Summit County, UT.

To find the marker take I-80 and get off at the Coalville exit. From there take the Chalk Creek Road heading north for about 20 miles. You'll see a sign that says Utah to the right and Evanston, WY to the left. Follow the main road (toward Evanston), which almost immediately curves right around a natural gas plant. At a bend in the road on your left side you'll see the marker.
