"E 3" is a benchmark monumented by the USC&GS in 1909 located in Coconino County, Arizona.

The mark is on the south side of the old Flagstaff train station, now a BNSF office, and should be visible from San Francisco Street.

This mark is apart of a survey conducted along the BNSF railroad from The Arizona-California border to the Arizona-New Mexico border. The designation "E 3" was given by being "E" on the third instance of the alphabet.
