The disk is at the corner of South Court Street and Adams Avenue, next to one of the traffic light boxes. There is yellow paint around and on the disk, so it does stand out. There is a benchmark across the street at the courthouse if one wants to get two in a small area.

The disk was monumented in 1938. The 1967 description from the datasheet reads:
