I recovered this National Geodetic Survey Azimuth Mark from 1976 in good condition. This AZ mark replaces the original AZ mark from 1945 and is part of the LAIDLAW series of marks located on Laidlaw Butte. The NGS datasheet description to recover this AZ mark is adequate for station recovery. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
