It is about 0.2 miles east-northeast of the intersection of Myers Lane and Old Boulder Road, 44.9 feet south of the centerline of Old Boulder Road, 24.0 feet west of the centerline of a track road leading south, 2.0 feet west of an orange Carsonite witness post, and level with the surface of the highway. The disk was monumented by the CGS 1950, and documented for inclusion in the NGS database in 1984. It is stamped AIRPORT 1950.
