I’m just as interested in searching for USGS (and other agencies’) benchmarks as well as those listed by NGS. They each have their own challenges. This mark is a USGS Transit Traverse station located in a beautiful wooded area in southern Lackawanna County, PA.

Don’t be fooled by the use of a Reference Mark disk; my contact at USGS confirms that this is the TT station and that the survey party just brought the wrong type of disk.

The text on the disk states:

U.S. Geological Survey
For Information Write the Director, Washington, D.C.

TT 1 H near Painter Creek, Lackawanna County, PA
