Ebright Azimuth, Summit at Barkley, Delaware
Description
Ebright Azimuth is Delaware's highest point, located near the Pennsylvania state line at 448 feet above sea level. The site consists of a modest marker and survey benchmark at a quiet road intersection that marks this geographic boundary.
History
The site was named after James and Grant Ebright, former property owners who maintained the land where the benchmark was established. A radio transmission tower was built nearby in the 1940s as part of a long-distance communications network.
