Ebright Azimuth is the highest point in the U.S. state of Delaware and has an elevation of 448 feet above sea level. It is marked with a USGS benchmark near the town of Barkley. The only state high point with a lower elevation is Britton Hill in the state of Florida at 345 feet above sea level. The highpoint is a virtual drive-up and can be visited year-round.
Ebright Azimuth is named after James and Grant Ebright, who owned the property on which the benchmark was placed.
Once covered by a sidewalk, the USGS benchmark is now exposed and the sidewalk cut around it.
The actual Delaware historical marker is near the site but is on private property underneath a home.
It was through the efforts of Doreen Kupchick, who lives across the street and keeps a log book, that the benchmark was brought to light.
