Maricopa County Hwy Department Benchmark - Surprise AZ - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

While finding GC1MFMH "Gumming up the bridge"
I noted this benchmark in place
Checked for a waymark and found it unlisted
Well, I can fix that -- here's its space!

Brass disc set in concrete of a ditch 'bridge' basically on top of the geocache (north -- I-10 bound -- side of the Parkway, though we found the coords to be pretty clear on that account). Lines up with the 'railing' barbed wire, about 4-inches from the outside (away from road) edge. With your back to the road, veer left.

To get all technical:
Brass disc set in the NW corner of the North culvert headwall.

Reads simply:
