Site Survey Marker?

[BenS]

On Mickey Avenue, in MGM studios, by the Who Wants to be a Millionaire building, there is something on the ground that says "WDW Site Surver Marker # 7" and has a Not-So-Hidden Mickey. Does anyone know what this is? I see it on every trip and I can never figure out what it's for. Here's a picture: (sorry about the red stuff, bad quality camera.)

It's exactly what it says it is...a survey marker. It is used for measuring distance from a given point. Comes in real handy for construction and such. All the parks have several of them.

There is also one right on the bridge over the water over by the Odyssey Restaurant in Epcot. I love the survey markers!

They are survey markers put down when the original plans were mapped out. We have several in the town where we live...look around your hometown you may find some too.

Thanks. I've been wondering about this for a while.
