This triangulation station is located at the top of a low hill called Arbuckle Hill. It is embedded in a square block of concrete with a metal tripod erected over it. I was unable to locate the azimuth mark and RM1. RM2 was found as well as what I believe to be RM3 since it is at the correct location. The road leads to it from the south and winds around the east to the back of the hill.
