Of the four disks in this triangulation station, two (and a half) remain. The station monument itself, on the south side of the road, is completely out of the ground. Reference Mark 2 is to the east, also on the south side of the road. There is a witness post nearby. I could not find Reference Mark 1. The Azimuth Station is 1/10 mile east and 1/10 mile south, on the east side of the road (WM17WW8).
