The handwritten placard accompanying this marker reads:

"Mile Marker

A number of these markers were
located along Deckertown Turnpike,
an early stagecoach route between
Milford, PA and Hoboken-Jersey City."

The readable portion of the marker:

"58
MILES
TO
HOBOKEN
OR

The Deckertown Turnpike apparently is the road that is now known as County Road 443...right outside this Ranger Station.
