The station mark was found in good condition. The private road is a woods road, blocked by a cable, leading south toward the river (near Wallpack Bend). The white board fence no longer exists. The original reference post is no longer at the site, but an orange stake marked "FHWA" now marks the spot. White plastic sheeting in the form of an X over the mark marks its location for photogrammetric purposes.
A report on the condition of this station has been submitted to NGS, along with the following recovery note:
The white board fence no longer exists. Handheld GPS coordinates for the station are 41 05 52.9(N) 074 58 34.8(W).
