Corps of Engineers Survey Mark #TT A 2 - Summersville Lake - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

To get to the mark from U.S. Route 19, go 4 miles west on State Route 129. Just after you drive past the entrance to Battle Run Recreation Area, the highway curves around to the right. As you come out of this curve, on the right is a somewhat hidden gravel parking area (coordinates N38° 13.116, W080° 54.632) with space for about six cars and a red gate just beyond. This is the trailhead for Battle Run Trail. From there you must hike slightly over 3 miles (6 miles round trip) along the top of two dikes, an old maintenance road, and an abandoned section of old County Route 9 to the mark.
The survey marker is mounted in the top of a concrete post that protrudes 5" above ground level, on the top edge of a six foot high bank at a hairpin curve in the old highway/trail, about 12 feet northwest of the center line of the trail. It is located very near the intersection of 5 old roads that go off in various directions.

If you are also a geocacher, the Woodlands Crossroads (GC1NW4W) cache is hidden VERY close to this survey marker.
