To get to the mark from U.S. Route 19, go 4 miles west on State Route 129. Just after you drive past the entrance to Battle Run Recreation Area, the highway curves around to the right. As you come out of this curve, on the right is a somewhat hidden gravel parking area (coordinates N38° 13.116, W080° 54.632) with space for about six vehicles and a red gate just beyond. This is the trailhead for Battle Run Trail. From there you must hike about .50 mile (slightly over 1 mile round trip) along the top of the small dike to the mark.
The survey marker is mounted at ground level in the top of an embedded rock on the left (west) side of trail just off the north end of the dike.
