This survey mark is on the road between Gunter Industrial Park and Lagoon Park. I found this disk on a Sunday afternoon, so there was not much traffic on the road. The disk was covered with dirt but easily found. After finding the disk, I noticed there was a line painted on the curb at the right spot to indicate the location of the disk.

The 1994 description from the datasheet reads:
