MX1002 - USC&GS 'ALTON AZ MK' Azimuth Mark - Siskiyou County, CA - Azimuth Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey Azimuth Mark from 1952 in good condition. This mark is part of the 'Alton' series of benchmarks located approximately .75 miles NW of this mark. This AZ mark has its own PID #CD8975 from the NGS datasheet. There is a metal witness post spraypainted orange at the top to aid in station recovery. To access this AZ mark, you must pass through a metal gate locate about 100 feet south of the station. My posted coordinates should place you close to this AZ mark.
