Wilmington, Delaware: Highest Point in Delaware
The "Ebright Azimuth" is only 447 feet above sea level, and it's right next to a sidewalk along a suburban street; in fact, the sidewalk has been cut around the disk that marks the spot.

Next to the Highest Point in Delaware, there is a bench to rest on after the climb!

It was quite a climb but I made it to the highest point in Delaware last week! The historical marker in the photo is about 50 feet north of the actual survey mark. I believe the fence in the background is in Pennsylvania so, even though Delaware's highest point isn't very high visitors can still see two states.
