L 1094 1957 (AY0891) - La Coste, Texas USA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This benchmark is near a large tree trunk that has been wrapped with lots of orange ribbon. It is about 63 feet westward from the north bound road named Jungman Road. Jungman Road intersects with the larger Macdona Lacoste Road which runs East and West.

The wooden fence row in which this benchmark is located has several large wooden posts connecting the fence poles from Jungman to the location of the disk. This old, dead tree trunk is one of the largest tree trunks in or near the fence. It also had lots of orange streamers attached to the top part of the trunk. The concrete monument containing the L 1094 stamping is a the base of this large decorated tree trunk. Depending on the climate and time of year, you may need to trim the grasses that may have grown up around the fence row and blocks the view of the disk and its monument base. But finding the tree trunk should be easy considering the many ribbons attached to the wood fence.

The benchmark is in good condition. There is information on the face of the disk that give useful information to the viewer, as well as its name and date of placement. The disk reads as follows:
