This benchmark was the first of many benchmarks found this day.
The benchmark was found by looking on a topography map and and seeing it listed as BM 4176. This benchmark's stamping is the same elevation number as seen on the topography map (not all of them are this way).
Benchmark is in excellent shape and was found after digging about 2-3 inches of soil over it. It is not located in the NGS database.
Directions to get to benchmark:
If you're driving south on S Century Drive, you'll hit a T-junction where S Century Drive takes a left and if you continue straight, the road becomes Huntington Drive. The benchmark is on the left and just behind a wooden fence. There is an old metal witness post very close to the benchmark.
