CD7933 - USCGS 'MANZANITA RM 1' Reference Mark - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey reference mark from 1947 in good condition. It is located at the summit of Manzanita Mountain and nearby a lookout tower. The NGS datasheet and NGS coordinates are adequate for station recovery.
