This station, A National Geodetic Survey vertical control disk, is located in New Milford, CT. It is positioned at the southernmost end of a large ledge outcropping located between Poplar Street to the west, and U.S. Route 202 to the east. It is set horizontally in a rock shelf:
DESCRIBED BY NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY 1985
0.6 KM (0.35 MI) NORTH FROM NEW MILFORD.
0.6 KM (0.35 MI) NORTH ALONG U.S. HIGHWAY 202 FROM THE JUNCTION OF
STATE HIGHWAY 67 IN NEW MILFORD TO THE MARK ON THE LEFT, 7.4 METERS
(24.5 FT) WEST OF THE CENTER LINE OF THE HIGHWAY.
THE MARK IS 0.42 METERS S FROM A WITNESS POST

At the time of recovery, there was no witness post. The mark was buried under soil and overgrowth, so some digging was necessary to find it. Over time, it may get buried again.
Beware of traffic in this area, it is often heavy.
