I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey benchmark from 1953 in good condition. The benchmark is monumented on top of a four-foot by four-foot low-lying boulder and four feet north of the Cherry Creek Trail. The benchmark has the designation stamping of '61 AA' as well as the year '1953' stamped on the face. This benchmark was recovered by seeing it on a topography map and listed as 'BM 5464'.

This benchmark is the last of three that exist along the Cherry Creek Trail.

This mark does not appear in the NGS database. My posted coordinates will place you close to this benchmark. The only access to this benchmark is via hiking or horseback riding along the trail.
