coHP and other tripping in New Jersey and Delaware.

After a job interview near Atlantic City NJ I visited county highpoints, etc. on my trip back home.

ATLANTIC county New Jersey HP. Two areas of 150+' west of Hammonton NJ. Not much new to report here. I couldn't find the path into the woods north of the railroad tracks, and I didn't see the other end of it at or near the north HP area. In my opinion the highest ground was south of the railroad. But... that was a heap of mixed tree-debris and soil put up by the landowner at the edge of the cut. Man-made. After excluding those heaps, I am not sure which of the two areas is higher. Perhaps a pair of visitors with a sight level or other surveying gear would give it a try.

GLOUCESTER county New Jersey HP, Two areas of 180+' southeast of Cross Keys NJ, northwest of Williamstown NJ. Not much new to report here. The Calvary Assembly of God church north of the highpoint areas ... The church is still there, but now it is 'Life Church', Lifeishere.org. I came from the south and the addresses are probably more useful for finding the HP areas. Numbers increase from Williamstown to Cross Keys. The likely HP area is in front of 1477. It is hard to get a look at the back yards, and I was inclined to just accept that the front yards are higher than the back yards. Lastly, the road from Cross Keys direct to Glassboro no longer goes through.

-----------
TANGENT Survey Stone, Delaware/Maryland border. Read the boundary description for Delaware. That would have been a lot of hard work for 18th century surveyors.
. Most of Delaware's west border is a straight line running from the southwest corner of the state to a point tangent to the New Castle 12 mile radius circle. It is not north-south. The TANGENT stone marks where the straight line contacts the circle. Directions, starting with a presumption that you have a map and can find your way to Iron Hill southwest of Newark, Delaware.
. Go south on Iron Ridge Road. Before the railroad crossing go into Iron Ridge Apartment complex on the east side of the road. (I parked at a liquor store 1/3rd mile to the north and walked.) Find your way to the east side of the property, the general vicinity where the stone should be. You will find a pond put in by the Apartment complex. Go to the far side of that pond, about 40 feet north of a large white plastic pipe. Find a path going into the woods. In less than 10 feet it will pass a fenced enclosure around the TANGENT stone.

PRISM Survey Stone, Delaware/Maryland border. This stone is another tangent point on the New Castle 12 miles radius circle. It is located at the westernmost point (270 degrees) of the circle. From here the border heads straight north. Not-directions: I read a brief account of a previous visit to the stone, from the south. I did not have that account with me. At the turnoff from DE Hwy 279 I was stopped by the sign that the large property is a DuPont Research Facility, with a guardhouse on the road. So I went past this objective. Maybe another day from another direction.

MDP Corner Tri-point marker. In one sense visiting this has gotten easier. Directions:
. In Newark DE find your way through the tangle of highways to north DE Hwy 896. I went about 2 miles to Hopkins Road and turned right, northeast. CAUTION. There is no road sign for the Delaware/Pennsylvania border, for the Arc Corner Survey Stone, or for the Arc Corner Road. The Arc Corner Road itself is just a trail now, and there is a 'No Parking' sign where it formerly intersected Hopkins Road, about 0.7 miles from DE Hwy 896. I parked off the road a short distance west. The legal and proper thing would be to park in the state park, pay the $4.00 (2016) fee and walk the extra 0.5 miles.
. There is a road sign for a hiking trail crossing. South, the trail very soon goes past the ARC CORNER Survey Stone, which marks where the short east-west Delaware/Pennsylvania border intersects the New Castle 12 mile radius circle. North, the trail quickly angles east to get on to the former Arc Corner Road. A few hundred feet further north it intersects the Tri-State trail, which explicitly mentions the Tri-State Monument. This trail goes about 1 mile west crows flight distance, then angles north. At the corner and a bridge over the creek there is a sign indicating that the Tri-State Monument is to the southwest, and a short trail goes over to it. The stone is about knee high and has 'P' engraved on two sides, and 'M' inscribed on the other two sides. On top is a BM Reference Mark. Not what I expected of a tri-state monument. I crossed the bridge going north and found another side trail going a short distance west to the ankle high 'Corner' BM stone. Nothing special marked on this either. I checked maps after I got back and see that the BM is entirely in Pennsylvania, and that another mark, no doubt the Reference Mark, is the actual corner. It looks like the surveyors decades or centuries ago made a mistake. I would be interested in reading a statement about it. The whole trip took me about 1:10 hours.

The main survey marker should be at a place where you can set up instruments and get a good view, the property boundary may not be a good choice and theoretically you would need permission from more owners to use it.
