jbuffethed Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) I was recently up in Gatlinburg on vacation. We hiked out to a virtual Porter's Creek Trail Virtual. Its an old farm site with a barn and a cabin. In between the structures is a small trail. At the trail head from the barn to the cabin I found a mark atop a rock. I have in a few places that I know to look and could not find anything. It looks to read TT STA NO 2D 1928. Coordinates: N 35 41.231 W 083 23.933 I have already created an waymark for it. Can any of you find anymore info on it? Edited November 30, 2010 by jbuffethed Quote Link to comment
Difficult Run Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It looks to read TT STA NO 2D 1928. Coordinates: N 35 41.231 W 083 23.933 Well, it's a USGS benchmark with an elevation of 2242 feet, set in 1928.TT STA NO 2D = Transit Traverse Station Number 2D. It's not in the NGS database and probably the only info you'll find is in a file cabinet at the USGS Headquarters in Rolla, Mo. You can write them a letter and they'll send you all the benchmark information for that quad. It is denoted on the USGS topographic map for that area. Regards, ~ Mitch ~ Quote Link to comment
