MW0822 - USC&GS 'QUAKING ASP AZ MK' Azimuth Mark - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey Azimuth Mark from 1948 in good condition. This AZ mark appears on a topography map as 'BM 4904'. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery with the exception that the sign for the road leading to Bird Spring is gone. You will also have to pass through a wire gate not far from Clear Lake Reservoir Rd. My posted coordinates should place you pretty close to this mark.
