First one I've ever seen. It is in a WMA In Western md.All the time. I supported the National Geodetic Survey for a while as a contractor. .. we also have at least one member who is a federal employee there too.
Rode by it many times. Finally stopped one day and investigated the concrete circle. Thanks for the info.US Coast and Geodtic Survey (now National Geodedic Survey) is part of NOAA. Was originally started under Thomas Jefferson. They study how the shape of the earth changes, have continous reference points for GIS and mapping systems, and even do gravity measurements. It is a cool little agency.
I looked into it after I found it. Is there a list of where they were placed?Yup saw one the other day on the Monacacy Aquaduct.
National Park Service loves to place those all over.
Just thought it was odd to find one so far from the coastThere are quite a few on the Furnace Bay/ Stump's Point shore line in the Perryville Community Park.
Once you see them, You'll see they're pretty much everywhere.Just thought it was odd to find one so far from the coast
Yup - there is one at Dan's Rock (good spot with friends from my days at the real FSU - not that wanna-be in Florida).Anyone ever found one of these
I'll have to do that. ThanksGet a topo/quadrangle map for your area and go out and look for them.
