Show Off Your Best Benchmarks from the Field

Posted by Jaybird on March 23, 2010 at 5:51pm
Today, while I was going through a closet of old equipment and various odds and ends, I ran across these benchmarks and monuments and I thought it might be fun to start a thread so everyone can show off their pictures of surveyor benchmarks from the field. I started an album here.
This one is from Memphis Tennessee by the Division of Engineering...It's marked "Do Not Disturb" but obviously someone decided otherwise.










Here are some of the other markers that I found in my dig.









Let's see how many states that we can collect as a group-and even better, international benchmarks. This is a call to action! The next time you stumble across a benchmark or monument with a location clearly marked, upload it to LSU and share in the comments below. It would be nice if we all added the tag "Benchmark" to each photo so that we can run an advanced search and find all of the markers.
