I recovered this U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service section corner from 1948 in good condition. It is one of many section corners that border the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge property. This particular section corner is in Section 16, Township 47 North, Range 2 East. It also has a designation stamping of 'MC2' and '16' stamped on the top of the cap. The section corner is easily recovered with a yellow carsonite witness post as well as a larger wooden post near the marker. The section corner is located behind a wooden fence line.

To reach this section corner, take Dorris Brownell Rd from the City of Dorris and continue E/SE about 11.5 miles. Dorris Brownell Rd becomes Lower Klamath Lake Rd heading south at a junction. This section corner is a short distance east from the junction. The last half mile is on a very chalky road and not advisable to drive on in inclimate weather.
Type of survey mark: 2-1/2" brass cap on iron pipe rising 8"

What indicators are near the mark to help people identify where it is located?:
A yellow carsonite witness post is near the marker as well as a large wooden post with signs standing in a rocky cairn. The marker is behind a wooden fence line.


What property is this mark defining?:
This section corner marks the western boundary of the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge and one of many property line corners heading north/south.
