It's a benchmark dated 1964 that is owned by the Mississippi State Highway Department. The benchmark was covered with mud and leaves, but is in good condition. It is located east of South Gloster St. where Green Tee Rd. intersects. There is an access drive to a natural gas pumping station that will take you within feet of the benchmark. The benchmark has a witness post beside it and it approximately 50ft from the KCS railroad track.
