While on an evening ride around town, we located this benchmark disk easily using the historic description. The spot was marked with both a stake wrapped in orange flagging tape and “ELEV. = 5.50’” painted on the highway shoulder. State Highway 14 is now State Highway 1, and the canal referred to is the Bethany Beach Loop Canal. The disk is in good condition with legible stamping.
