NZ0193 - USC&GS 'S6 RESET' BM - Talent, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey disk from 1920/1931 in good condition although the disk face is scratched up pretty badly, the monument is sound. I also believe this disk to be the original station from 1920 that was relocated and re-monumented to its current location in 1931. This BM also appears on a topography map as 'BM 1708'. The NGS coordinates are off (I also believe they may the original coordinates to 'S6'). My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
