This bench mark was once located near the crossing of two railroads which are both long gone. It is approx. 3 miles south of Lead, South Dakota, or about 0.7 mile north of an old railroad location known as Englewood.

The pickup is on the grade of the railroad running north-south near the location of the one going over it.
