Minnesota Department of Transportation geodetic control mark, set in 2012. It is an aluminum alloy rod with removable ID disk, recessed 1 inch, in a PVC pipe with an access cover. It is magnetic due to a bar magnet in a drill hole. It is a second-order vertical mark. Its elevation is 1106.694 feet, with 2-inch accuracy.
This mark has an NGS PID, and is listed in the NGS database. It is too recently set to show up in geocaching.com's snapshot of the NGS database.
It is in the southeast quadrant of section 23, Township 119 N, Range 30 W. This is on the east side of Darwin.
Coordinates are from my readings with consumer-grade GPS receiver (HH2).
Here is the to-reach section of the MnDOT database, minus a tie which no longer exists:
