Narrative and photographs
For more information about this reference mark, see its parent mark JOHN BROWNS GRAVE.
Rich and I recovered this azimuth mark as part of our recovery of PG0932, the JOHN BROWNS GRAVE tri-station. The azimuth mark is in good condition. We had some trouble finding it, as there is no longer a power pole 14 feet from the mark, and the scaled coordinates took us to a point just a bit too far south along John Brown Road. Once we walked just a few more yards north, however, we spotted the witness post and then the mark.
