This is a tall concrete monument with a triangulation disk on its top. It is very close to the Headuarters of the Champoeg State Heritage Area; and just a few yards East down Champoeg Road from WM WM6E6X. It says that it's an "elevation" disk, but I'm sure the number below that term is not the elevation above sea level, rather it is likely the year it was placed.
