Every once in a while I will see a metal marker, usually brass or bronze, set into a horizontal concrete surface. Frequently they will have the points of the compass (North, East, South, West) on them.

What are these called? :confused:

I am putting in a large flagpole and a concrete walkway around it and would like to include one of these in the walkway, but don't know the official name or where to buy one?

Brass survey marker, domed or flat:

brass+survey+marker

Click on Google Shopping to buy some.

Thanks, this is very close to what I am looking for, but the one I want has the north, south, east west marks, which none of these have.

My grandfather's land had these markers you are talking about, He told me the gov't came through back in the 50's surveying the land and setting these marks.

Camden yards in Baltimore has a cool set up. Every home run hit is cut out of the bricks and a small brass plate is put in with the distance and who hit it. There are some on the sides of buildings.
