I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1943 in good condition. The datasheet info is adequate for station recovery, with the exception of the Chiloquin railroad station which no longer exists. The original wooden witness post still had some paint on it, was lying on the ground and need to be propped back up again. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4292'. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
