Log: Recovered on Wednesday, 11/5/2025 at 7:07am. Based on what I found online, it seems that the Methodist Church, which was founded around 1866, closed its doors in 2021. It now operates as the Solomons Mission Center, a food pantry. The building itself seems to be in pretty good shape. In the photo, there is a bird perched on top of the station.

 AJ8036'RECOVERY NOTE BY MARYLAND DOT HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION 2023 (EBD)
 AJ8036'RECOVERED IN GOOD CONDITION.

Log: Recovered in good condition on Tuesday, 11/04/2025 at 4:05pm EST. This was easy to locate, because the witness post is intact, and the concrete setting currently protrudes about 4-6″ above the ground. The disc is mounted as described, with a hinged lid covering the PVC pipe. I got a good photo of the setting and witness post, but my photo of the disc turned out blurry.

Log: Recovered on Tuesday, 11/04/2025 at 4:01pm EST. The benchmark disc itself is in good condition, but a chain-link fence on the retaining wall prevented me from getting a clean photo, and will likely interfere with any surveying-related use of the station. I returned on 11/05 at 7:16am to take a better photo, as my initial photo was out of focus.

Log: Recovered in good condition on Tuesday, 11/04/2025 at 1:30pm EST. Description from Wikipedia: “St. Peter’s Chapel is an historic Carpenter Gothic-style Episcopal church building located at 14590 Solomon’s Island Road, South, in Solomons, Calvert County, Maryland. Built in 1889, it features the steep roof, lancet windows and board and batten siding typical of Carpenter Gothic churches. In 1900 it joined with Middleham Chapel to form Middleham and St. Peter’s Episcopal Parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland. St. Peter’s Chapel is still in use today.” The station is the center and top of the highest cross (photo below; top of cupola).

 HV6690
 HV6690'DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1943 (BHR)
 HV6690'STATION IS NW OF THE TOWN OF SOLOMONS, N OF THE HIGHWAY ENTERING THE
 HV6690'TOWN, AND APPROXIMATELY 200 YARDS NW OF THE SMALL BRIDGE CONNECTING
 HV6690'THE ISLAND OF SOLOMONS WITH THE MAINLAND.  THE STATION IS THE
 HV6690'CENTER OF THE TOP OF THE CROSS ON A HIGH BELFRY OF THE BUILDING.
 HV6690'THIS CHURCH IS KNOWN AS OUR LADY STAR OF THE SEA.
 HV6690'
 HV6690'EDITORS NOTE--THIS CHURCH HAD BEEN MOVED TO ITS PRESENT POSITION
 HV6690'FROM A FORMER LOCATION.

Log: Recovered in good condition on Friday, 10/24/2025 at 8:10am EDT. I thought I would look for a couple of benchmarks this morning while walking from our condo to a geocache just north of the Rt 90 bridge. Another easy recovery here, thanks to the descriptive text. The disc has been partially painted over in white and yellow (maybe to make it more visible for aerial observation?), but is in good shape and fully readable.

The building is currently vacant, as the fire department has moved to a newer building a little bit south of here.
