This station, a U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey standard bench mark disk, is located in Beachwood, NJ. It is set in a concrete post, positioned between a sidewalk and the west curb of Atlantic City Boulevard (U.S. Rt. 9), and is just north from the junction of A.C. Blvd and Pennant Avenue:

STATION DESCRIPTION

DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1964
0.2 MI SE FROM BEACHWOOD.
ABOUT 0.25 MILE SOUTHEAST ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 166 FROM THE FIRE
HOUSE AND CITY HALL AT BEACHWOOD, AT THE INTERSECTION OF U.S.
HIGHWAY 9, 39 FEET NORTHWEST OF THE CENTER LINE OF PENNANT
AVENUE, 8.0 FEET SOUTHWEST OF THE SOUTHWEST CURB OF U.S. HIGHWAY

THE LEVEL OF THE HIGHWAY AND SET IN THE TOP OF A CONCRETE POST

The mark is very easy to locate, and is visible from the roadway. As found, the station was disturbed, apparently from being struck by a vehicle or highway equipment. The post is now at an angle, however, the disk may still be useful if its height hasn't changed.

This station is loggable on both this site and Geocaching as well. When visiting this station, please consider logging on both sites. Thank you.
