AE1229 L1421 Pharr, TX - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Reference marks have changed.
There is no Witness Post.
There is no multi-trunk tree.
There is no palm tree.
5.5 ft North of the phone junction box is a brick wall.
4.8 ft North of a powerline pole is the same brick wall.
I think when Hwy 281 was widened, the junction box and the powerline pole were moved to the east, and the trees were removed.
Mark is now about 20 ft West of the phone junction box and 10 ft east of the curb of the highway.
