Nebraska Magnetic Station
1909
May 25, 2009
This monument was first uncovered in 1998 by chiseling through the asphalt drive of the small-town local cemetery. Fortunately nothing changes much in a cemetery. Many magnetic stations were placed in the year 1909 by USC&GS in or near the county seat of the various Nebraska counties.
The hole in the pavement marks the location of the Stanton Magnetic Station.
