This benchmark is located along the Cascade Lakes Highway about 0.15 miles SW of the traffic circle for Mt. Washington Drive, Reed Market Road, and the Cascade Lakes Highway. The cap is in a large block of welded tuff on the east side of the highway, just west of the paved trail. The U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey set this cap in 1942 and marked it Y369.
