Narrative and photographs

Because of the current reconstruction and restoration of this downtown area, it seems nearly every corner holds some sort of survey mark—either a cross chiseled in the sidewalk, or a survey disk. WEM is a disk set in the sidewalk at the corner of the West Side Highway and Murray Street (hence the designation WEM). It is in good condition.
