MW0826 - USC&GS 'REFUGE' Reference Mark 2 - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geological Reference Mark from 1948 in good condition. Part of a corner of the concrete post has deteriorated away but the disk is still sound in its post. The NGS datasheet is adequate for station recovery. The posted coordinates should place you pretty close to this mark.

NGS datasheet info:
