This third order horizontal control station is situated at the summit of Mehoopany Mountain, south of Mehoopany. From Russell Hill northwest of Tunkhannock and the intersection of Rt. 6 (N41° 35.165’ W076° 0.258’), follow Rt. 87 south for roughly 4.85 miles to the town of Mehoopany (N41° 33.814’ W076° 3.649’), then left onto Sugar Hollow Road (SR3003) for roughly 1.2 miles (N41° 33.231’ W076° 3.441’), then right onto T454 for 0.6 miles, straight on T437 for roughly 0.1 miles (N41° 32.835’ W076° 3.778’), and finally left onto Fire Tower Road (T440) south for 3.1 miles. Fire Tower Road is a packed dirt/gravel access road that is mostly in very good condition leading directly to the summit and the microwave tower. A sign on the chainlink perimeter fence indicates that the facility is operated by American Tower. ~Rich in NEPA~
