Ex marks the spot?

I found this marker at one end of the sidewalk of a drawbridge in Lewes, Delaware. There's an identical one at the other end. Any guesses as to what it means?

Sounds about right. I have seen similar markers in California to measure fault line movement on an annual basis, as well as several in Yellowstone for roughly similar reasons. Seems like this is a survey marker to measure distance or alignment.
