Proceed about 100 m to dirt road that leads north parallel to Hwy 62 . The southernmost bench mark is in a large boulder in the northwest corner of the intersection of the dirt road and Indian Avenue, and the remaining of the line trends north and follows the fence between the dirt road and the highway.

Comments: This array was established across the Mission Creek fault following the 28 June 1992 Landers earthquake to measure horizontal displacement. The array shares bench mark MW08 with the level line.
