MX0182 - USC&GS 'Z 494' BM - Siskiyou County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Recovered in good condition as described in the NGS datasheet. There is a metal fence that blocks access to this station. You can access a green metal gate about 300 feet south of this station. The original wooden witness post still stands near this BM for easier recovery. This BM is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 3562'. My more accurate coordinates should place you very close to this station.
