NZ0514 - USCGS 'W 7' BM - Rogue River, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey tidal benchmark from 1920 in good condition. It is monumented on top of a concrete culvert on the north side of the railroad tracks and on the east side of the culvert. The disk contains the elevation stamping of '999.319' and the designation stamping of 'W 7' and the year '1920'. This BM also appears on a topography map as 'BM W 7 1000'. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
