U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Benchmark DN1340 - Rhome, TX - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This old water tower is located behind the building that is currently the Rhome, TX City Hall. It has a fun arrow on top. It serves as a benchmark and the original data sheet can be found here: (visit link)

There is a new water tower in town, so not sure if this one is still being used, but glad it is still here to admire.
