NY0558 - USC&GS&SS 'T 277' BM - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey and State Survey benchmark from 1934 in poor condition. It looks like this benchmark was compromised when crews layed underground cable. The post was found tilted in the ground but in good shape. There's a green utility box nearby. The datasheet info is obsolete now, since none of the landmarks exist. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4288'. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
