A site for CCD/Transit Instrument with Innovative Instrumentation (CTI-II) has been selected on Mt. Locke at McDonald Observatory in West Texas. Site selection is a three dimensional process involving choosing both a physical location and the minimum altitude at that location above which the astronomical seeing can be very good. We describe the site and the extensive set of measurements leading to its selection. From this site the unique, stationary 1.8-m CTI-II will conduct a precise and accurate astrometric and multi-bandpass photometric imaging survey of a one degree wide complete small circle on the celestial sphere at δ = +28°. The survey will be conducted with nightly cadence for a duration of seven years.
