Description: Marker for the Western Hemisphere's 45X90 point. This marker was intentionally misplaced, though signs clarifying the misdirection were only added after the increase in personal GPS devices. The actual location is approx. 1000 feet away (in a farm field). However the marker is conveniently located off of a public road. It is located outside Poniatowski, Wisconsin, USA.
