Official USGS Description:
U.E., Cadillac Mountain, 0.4 mi N. of summit of; at last horseshoe curve before reaching top; in ledge; 35 ft S. of centerline of rd.; chiseled square
Stuffed full of lobster (and wine) after lunch at Beal's, we headed up Cadillac Mountain to search for a few old chiseled squares along the mountain road. We found this one quite easily on the ledges near the apex of the last horseshoe curve near the summit. It was highlighted by black lichen that has grown in the chiseled depression, so it was easier to spot than we expected. For an old chiseled square constantly exposed to the elements, it's in quite good condition. Probably doesn't matter too much as it's highly unlikely that this mark will be used again (U.E. = "useless elevation," according to Dave Doyle).
