NY0911 - SWAN LAKE PT BONNEVILLE MICROW - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey interesected point from 1967 in good condition. It is a CAA microwave tower and the point intersected was the antenna on the SW leg of the tower. The posted NGS coordinates and the to-reach description from SWAN LAKE triangulation station datasheet (NY0909) are adequate for station recovery with the only main difference being mention of the Swan Lake Lookout Tower signs. The lookout tower no longer exists and the road signs no longer exist either.
