F 13 1934 (USC&GS&SS, Sandown, NH) - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This is a US Coast and Geodetic Survey and State Survey standard disk, marked F 13 1934, and is located in Sandown, NH. It is set along the former Worcester, Nashua & Portland branch of the Boston & Maine railroad, which was shut down and dismantled several years ago. It has since been converted to the Rockingham Recreational Trail. The station is also near the Sandown RR Station which has been restored and serves as a historical museum with various railroad artifacts. This station does not appear on the NGS list, but it does appear on the NH Geodetic Control datasheets. This is the datasheet directions verbatim:
