Travis, can I ask what it is exactly that you are calling "benchmarks"? I don't think we are talking about the same things. http://www.geocaching.com/mark/#Whatis I'm looking for a specific benchmark. Highest natural elevation. With the help of Tosborn, I tracked down the point of highest elevation in Monroe and West Monroe. There are no actual benchmarks there, which is what I was hoping for.

Check it out. This is the West Monroe benchmark. It's right on the edge of a development. This is the Monroe benchmark. Its a heavily wooded area off rte 80. I did some follow up and it appears that the land is owned by a trust.

Thanks a ton. I'll check out those spots and report back.

This is exceptionally helpful. Thank you for this. Do you know a way to find the highest point of elevation discounting man made structures?

Ha, I hadn't heard of the high-pointers until I was at the top of Driskill "Mountain" a few days ago and the group had conveniently placed a placard at the top of the hill.

Thanks for the tip. I gave this a shot, but Monroe and West Monroe are so dadgum flat, its hard to find the peak.

Thanks LSU! I'm looking for the point highest elevation in Monroe and West Monroe. So I suppose that means true elevation benchmarks. Any advice? Travis, I am an avid benchmarker and reside in West Monroe. I can probably answer that question, depending on what it is your really looking for. Are you wanting known benchmarks in the city limits, or general area? Are you also looking for true elevation benchmarks (not intersection stations or such)? Are you looking for benchmarks that are in the National Spatial Reference System (NGS marks)? I have all the NGS marks loaded into GSAK and am able to filter by elevation to ascertain the info.

Hi. I'm looking for the benchmark for highest elevation in West Monroe, Louisiana as well as Monroe, Louisiana. Anyone have any advice for finding that information? All leads are much appreciated.
