I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey disk from 1961 in good condition. This disk is monumented on top of low-lying bedrock and bout 12 inches above the ground and about 65 feet west/SW of Willow Valley Rd and about 15 feet north of a juniper tree. This disk also appears on a topography map as 'BM 5107' and has the elevation stamping of '5107' on its face. This station does not appear in the NGS database. My posted coordinates should place you pretty close to this mark.
