MP H254.5


Crofton Cut is located approximately at MP H254.5 North of  Crofton on US Highway 41.


How to get there:

The closest road for reference is Hwy 1296 which is past the turnoff for the sand cut if you are headed north on 41. Turn around at this point and slowly head back south and keep an eye out for a private drive on your left and another old paved road next to the private drive. This road is kind of rough but passable and takes you back to the sand cut. This is in the area also known as Empire on many road maps.
