JU3852 Boundary Arc Stone 3 DE MD -- Elkton MD - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Another historic survey stone and benchmark on board Stine Labs in Elkton MD. In order to visit this stone, you must have an appointment and an escort.

It is located next to JU3851 Boundary Arc Stone 2 DE MD, which makes sense if you know that JU3851 is a Mason-Dixon stone monumented in 1766, and this stone was placed by the US Corps of Topographical Engineers in 1849.
