Benchmarks: a page of surveyor and other benchmark disks that I have located

This page is an exhibit of various surveyor's "benchmarks," that I have run across in my wanderings.

This is probablly the first benchmark disk I've encountered that I happened across in October 2006. It is a North Carolina Geodetic Survey traverse station. The designation of this disk is "LUMP," as stamped on the disk and the PID is "FZ1996."
The GPS Coordinates for this Disk are 36.27462 North, 81.37848 West. It is set in a rock outcropping on the top of a hill on the aptly named "Lump Overlook," on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Wilkes County, NC
