I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey and State Survey BM from 1934 in good condition. The disk is monumented on top of a wing wall in the NE corner of Foots Creek Bridge which spans Foots Creek and located along Hwy 99. The disk contains the elevation stamping of '1016.8' and the designation stamping of 'U 257'. This BM does not exist in the NGS database. A topography map lists a 'BM V 257' elevation '1019' but I could not find a BM at this location. I'm assuming this is an error on the topography map.
My posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
