I recovered this Bureau of Reclamation benchmark in good condition. This mark is one of two located on the Rogue River Bridge. This mark is monumented on a concrete curb at the SW corner of the bridge and at the west edge of a wooden plank pedestrian walkway. This mark is very close to an NGS benchmark from the Oregon State Highway Department here. This mark contains no designation stamping and is not listed in the NGS database. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
