USFS Photo Control HV-1 1990 - Oregon - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Benchmark set by the U.S. Forest Service in 1990. The photo control point is located along F.S. Rd. 4668. The benchmark can be reached from the junction of F.S. Rds. 4660, 4664, and 4668 south east of Davis Lake. From the junction go southwest on F.S. Rd. 4668 for 1.25 miles to location of point. The point is located about 65 feet west of road centerline.
These photo control points were set for photogrammetry projects. Each project had at least 4 control points surrounding the project area plus a point near the center of the project. The points were surveyed and then the project area was flown and vertical photos taken. From the photos and survey control a topographic map was made. This photo control point was one used for a topographic map for the nearby Odell Creek Gravel Pit. This was one of many of these projects that I was involved in when I worked for the Deschutes National Forest.
