This station, a CT Department of Transportation standard survey disk, is located on Wooster Heights Road, in Danbury, CT. It is located approximately 0.1 mile east from U. S. Route 7.
The mark is 5-ft north from the north edge of the road, 12-ft west from a fire hydrant, 30-ft west-southwest from a traffic signal support pole, 10-ft southeast from the corner of a chain-link fence, and northwest from an intersection of the road and a driveway to an industrial facility (United Technologies).
The mark is a CTDT standard disk, stamped --C3529--, set horizontally in a 6-in X 6-in square concrete post, and is 2-in below ground surface.
At this time, official records for this station are not available on line. Also, there are no NGS records of this mark, and, consequently, it is not loggable on the Geocaching site.
There has been recent activity at this station, and one might be able to locate this mark relatively easily because of the impression in the grass where the mark is located. Currently, the station designation is painted clearly on the roadway curb at it's general position. The impression (& mark) will be directly behind it. Otherwise, there is no witness post, and locating it may be a challenge over time.
Note that this roadway is heavily traveled and that parking will be difficult in the immediate area. Use caution if you wish to visit this station.
