Additional Description: In 2014, archeologists documented this surviving surveying marker in Central Park, installed to mark the future intersection of 103rd Street and Sixth Avenue. These markers protruded from the ground about one foot and were inscribed with the relevant street and avenue numerals on two sides. They were very likely a presence in the Seneca Village landscape, a sign of potential urban development and change.
