USDOE Bonneville Power Adm 'SWAL' Control Point - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Department of Engineering Bonneville Power Administration control point from 1989 in good condition. It is a aluminum disk monumented flush with the surface and directly plumb and underneath a microwave tower at the summit of Swan Lake Point. The disk contains the designation stamping of 'SWAL' (for Swan Lake) as well as an elevation stamping of '7259', the year '89' and other stampings which read 'NAVD 88' and 'MSI 11'. My posted coordinates as well as the to-reach info borrowed from the SWAN LAKE triangulation station datasheet (NY0909) will place you very close to this station.
