A report on the condition of this survey mark has been submitted to NGS.

Our main activities for the day were to visit Seneca Lake and sample some of the local wines, but I couldn’t resist hunting for a few survey marks while in a new area. (Note: we found both marks before we started sipping wine!)

This bench mark disk is set vertically into the west-facing foundation wall of the Schuyler County Court House in Watkins Glen. It can be seen from N. Franklin Street (Route 14). We found a convenient parking spot right in front of the court house, and Rich, my father, and I checked out the mark. It is in good condition with legible stamping.
