This station, a U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey standard bench mark disk, is located in Bayville, NJ. It is set in a concrete post off the west side of U.s. Route 9:
DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1964
1 MI SW FROM BAYVILLE.
ABOUT 1.0 MILE SOUTHWEST ALONG U.S. HIGHWAY 9 FROM THE POST
OFFICE AT BAYVILLE, 145.0 FEET NORTHWEST OF THE CENTER LINE OF
HIGHWAY, 27.0 FEET NORTHEAST OF THE CENTER LINE OF A BLACK TOP
ROAD LEADING NORTHWEST, 17.0 FEET NORTH-NORTHWEST OF A CONCRETE
POST WITH SIGN READING UNDERGROUND CABLE, 13 FEET SOUTHWEST OF A
ROW OF CEDARS TREES, 2 1/2 FEET SOUTHEAST OF POWER POLE 1096B,
1.5 FEET NORTHWEST OF A METAL WITNESS POST, ABOUT LEVEL WITH THE
HIGHWAY AND SET IN THE TOP OF A CONCRETE POST PROJECTING 0.3 FOOT.
The row of cedar trees in the description is gone. It has since been replaced with a chain link fence. The mark itself is now flush with the ground, and appears slightly pitched, although it could have that appearance due to uneven soil. The road to the immediate south of the station is Floral Avenue, a dirt road at this time.
This station is loggable on both this site and Geocaching as well. When visiting this station, please consider logging on both sites. Thank you.
