The Ebright Azimuth is the point with the highest benchmark monument elevation in Delaware. It is marked with a geodetic benchmark monument and has an elevation of convert447.85ftm2 above sea level. The only state high-point with a lower elevation is Britton Hill in the state of Florida at convert345ftm0 above sea level.

The Ebright Azimuth is located about convert6.5mikm1 north of downtown Wilmington (Wilmington, Delaware), Delaware, in far northern New Castle County (New Castle County, Delaware), within a few feet of the Pennsylvania state line. It is near Concord High School, to the north of Naamans Road (Delaware Route 92), at the middle of the intersection of Ebright Road and Ramblewood Drive. This is an entrance to the Dartmouth Woods development.

Surveying by NGS and DGS personnel indicates that the mobile home park just west of Ebright Road is at least convert2ftcm0 higher than the benchmark. The land under the mobile home park is not "natural elevation" since it is a man-made plateau that was constructed to prevent flooding in the area.Citation neededdate=February 2007 Man-made elevations do not change a states "high point" location.

Contrary to what many people believe upon first impression, "Ebright Azimuth" is not a persons first and last name. James and Grant Ebright owned the property on which the benchmark was placed.
