Formerly located along Southern Avenue a few feet southeast of the
intersection with Naylor Road (and not at the intersection of Naylor Road
and Suitland Parkway, as some sources state). Nothing remains to mark
this stone--not even a plaque. The stone is not
lost, however. David R. Doyle of Silver Spring, MD, has had it in
his garage since 1991. Mr. Doyle explains,
"SE 4 is in my possession. The stone was recovered some years ago by
volunteers from the Maryland Society of Surveyors (MSS) working on a
resurvey of the DC line. As an employee of the National Geodetic Survey
(NGS), a member of MSS and the District of Columbia Association of Land
Surveyors (DCALS) and the geodetic survey liaison for the City of
Washington it was felt that I was in the best position to ultimately
coordinate having this mark reset on-line as close to its original
location as possible."
