US Coast & Geodetic Survey Benchmark Q 27 located in Delaware Township,(Flemington Post Office) Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The disk is positioned in the of a concrete bridge that spans the Wickecheoke Creek on Route 12. I was unable to get too close to the marker because of a chain-link fence which partially encloses the wing wall at the base of the bridge. The marker is not visible from a distance because it is set level to the ground. I was able to take the picture by looking down over the top of the fence.
