NY0503 - USC&GS 'V 546' BM - Chiloquin, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. It is monumented on top of a square concrete post flush with the surface. There are two nearby witneess posts to aid in recovery. The posted NGS coordinates should place you close to this mark.
