Minnesota Highway Department reference mark disk set in a concrete monument, flush with the ground. It is magnetic due to a steel rod.
The mark was set in 1976.
Although it has an NGS PID, the NGS database says, "No geodetic control." It is included in the Minnesota Department of Transportation database of geodetic stations.
It is in the southwest quadrant of section 26, Township 136 N, Range 29 W. This is in Sibley Township, just north of Nisswa, and the mark is close to the Paul Bunyan State Trail.
Coordinates are from my readings with consumer-grade GPS receiver (HH2).
Here is the to-reach section of the MnDOT database:
