Narrative and photographs

After spending a very pleasant morning hunting fossils nearby along the shore of Beltzville Lake, I decided to check out this stream gaging station (which I had seen before), curious if a benchmark might be set nearby. I’ve seen them a few times before at gaging stations. To my delight, one was set here, too.

USGS Gaging Station Disk 01449800 Eyelevel view of the disk set into the concrete base. The proximity of the mark to the side of the familiar green gaging station building. The mark is set in the base of the tower-like structure to the left of the small building.
