I felt like I needed to be a goat to climb up the side of the hill from the road to reach this one. This BM is inside the Sherman Res Unit of the Missionary Ridge - Chickamauga NBF.

Park in the designated area for the Sherman Reservation on Lightfood Mill Rd. Follow N Crest Road (parking for residence only) until you reach the entrance to the National Battlefield Park. Follow the path/road (closed to vehicular traffic) until you reach the red plaques for Cleburne’s Division-Breckinridge's Corps. The station will be on the side of the hill. The concert post it is set on is visible for the tablets. -- Note: some of the Civil War monuments in the area look a lot like the station from a distance.

Marker Type: triangulation station disk
