NZ0508 - OSHD 'X 257' BM - Jackson County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this Oregon State Highway Department benchmark from 1938 in good condition. This BM is monumented on the SW concrete sidewalk to a concrete bridge that spans Sardine Creek. The disk also contains the elevation stamping of '1052.1' along with the designation stamping of 'X 257'. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
