Richard-But if you follow their link, they are maintaining a shadow copy of the NGS data set, and putting a sharper front end on it. The NGS pages will not give you street maps showing the supposed benchmark location, the greocachers will. That's a nice touch if the purpose is finding the location of a benchmark. Although, I used the zip finder and the first one I found made reference to its location by way of the Trylon and Perisphere. Both of which were destroyed after the 1934 worlds fair. I suppose the NGS is a little backed up on their ground conformation programs.
