I recovered this USDA Forest Service 1/4 section corner from 1987 in good condition. It is a cadastral disk monumented on top of a 2" metal pipe and produces about 10 inches above the ground. There is a metal witness post behind (north) the disk and the mark is surrounded by small lava rocks at its base. The disk is located about 20 feet north of Forest Route 42N15. The disk contains the following stamping on its face:

T42N R4W (Township 42 North, Range 4 West)
C 1/4 (1/4 Section Corner)
S-21 (Section 21)
LS 5240 (Designation)
1987
