This NGS benchmark was located after seeing it listed on a topography map as BM 4356. This U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark is in excellent condition and the concrete post its imbedded in is in very good condition too. There is a metal post next to the benchmark but not acting as a witness post.
