MW0674 - USGS '4091 USGS' BM - Siskiyou County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey benchmark from most likely 1905 or 1908 (based off other USGS BMs I've recovered from those years in the vicinity) in good condition although there's a piece of the disk that has been pried off. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4091'. The NGS datasheet info is adequate for station recovery. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
