I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. The datasheet description is current for station recovery with the exception that Hill Rd is now a paved road and Indian Wells Ranger Station no longer exists. This mark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4047' The NGS coordinates should place you pretty close to this mark.
NGS datasheet description:
DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1954 11.8 MI N FROM INDIAN WELLS. 9.5 MILES NORTH ALONG A PAVED ROAD FROM INDIAN WELLS RANGER STATION, THENCE 2.3 MILES NORTH ALONG A GRADED ROAD, IN THE TOP OF A LARGE LAVA ROCK LEDGE WHERE IT COMES TO A POINT (POINT OF ROCK RIDGE), 142 1/2 FEET SOUTH OF POWER AND TELEPHONE POLE A 474 (WITH A GUY WIRE), 45 FEET WEST OF THE CENTER LINE OF THE ROAD, 22 FEET WEST OF THE EAST EDGE OF THE LEDGE, AND ABOUT 7 FEET HIGHER THAN THE ROAD.
