Back in 1930, CGS decided to mark this church spire as a survey benchmark. Today this church that was built in 1894 still stands with the same spire.

In the earlier years of surveying, the surveyors used many things to mark areas. Surveyors for the CGS often used local church spires as they were considered to be a potential permanent fixture in the area. This church spire is on an amazing old church in the middle of nowhere. This is an amazing drive up a coulee to reach this fantastic location. In the higher elevation down either County Highway J or County Highway Y is where you will find it. Look up and you will see the original over 100 year old spire marking this point.
