NY0466 - USC&GS 'C 546' - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey from 1954 in good condition. It is imbedded on top of the NW corner of a concrete foundation for former grain storage tanks. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4152.3'. The NGS datasheet descripion has changed quite a bit. The grain storage tanks, truck unloading chute and iron pipes no longer exist but the iron pipes' bases were still visible and aided in recovery since the concrete frame was covered with dirt and gravel. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this benchmark.
