I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey and State Survey benchmark from 1934 in good condition. The datasheet info is adequate for station recovery with the exception that the Chiloquin railroad station no longer exists and the SPrague River Rd was re-routed south of here and is now a Forest Service Rd. The original witness post is gone. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4369'. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
