I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1932 in good condition. This disk is monumented on top of concrete curb in the SE corner of a bridge spanning Sand Slough Creek. This disk also shows on a topography map as 'Z 140 BM 4136.0'. The NGS datasheet info is adequate for station recovery with the exception the words 'north curb' should read 'south curb'. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this station.
NGS datasheet info:
01/01/1932 by CGS (MONUMENTED)
01/01/1947 by NGS (GOOD)
