CD7145 - USCGS 'MODOC' Reference Mark 2 - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey reference mark from 1967 in good condition. It is imbedded on top of a boulder west of triangulation station 'MODOC' (NY0948) on the summit of a forested hill and near a former lookout tower. The mark has the stamping of 'MODOC NO 2 1967' on the disk face. The NGS datasheet's description of the to-reach area is out of date. I've updated the to-reach description as best I could:

NGS datasheet info (1971):

REFERENCE MARK 2 IS A STANDARD DISK STAMPED MODOC NO 2 1967, CEMENTED IN A DRILL HOLE IN A LARGE BOULDER WHICH PROJECTS 4 FEET. IT IS 16 FEET NORTH OF THE NORTHWEST LEG SUPPORT AND ABOUT 4 FEET HIGHER THAN THE STATION MARK. NOTE 12C.
