This U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey benchmark disk, found on the south side of the west entrance to the Noble County Courthouse, has been battered by foot traffic and time; the pre-cast writing around the edge of the disk is still legible but the center stamp is worn away. According to the data sheet the stamp was B 47 1934.

Note - the coordinates of this waymark differ slightly from those on the GH0303 data sheet.
