MX0039 - SPRR 'S 12' Spike - Siskiyou County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Recovered in good condition as described in the NGS datasheet with the exception that Grass Lake railroad station no longer exists and neither does milepost 369. This Southern Pacific Railroad Spike was most likely monumented in 1919, based off many previous BMs and spikes I've recovered that were monumented from that year. My more accurate coordinates should place you very close to this spike.

Per the NGS datasheet:
