I recovered this U.S. General Land Office Survey section corner from 1919 in good condition. This metal cap on an iron post is located just north of Hwy 161 along an embankment and just south of a fenceline heading east/west. The cap projects approximately 12 inches above the ground and is recognized by a small wooden stick acting as a witness post. I located this cap after seeing it listed on a topography map as 'MP 82'. The cap defines the boundary line of Oregon to the north and Sections 17 and 18 to the south in Township 48 North, Range 8 East. This cap is not listed in the NGS database. My posted coordinates will place you close to this metal cap.
