MW0582 - USC&GS 'N 507' BM - Siskiyou County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

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. The lone juniper tree mentioned is now dead from a fire. This mark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4053' The NGS coordinates should place you pretty close to this mark.
