A United States Department of the Interor/National Park Service survey mark located near the Dante's Peak lookout parking lot. The 1.5" brass disk is encased in concrete and wrapped in a metal jacket.
There are no obvious markings on the disk, however the Data Sheet for USCGS Benchmark DANTE makes reference to both this mark and nearby DV2. Data Sheet link may be found here: (

Due to a lack of definitive markings, this is categorized as DV1 RESET.
Mark is easily accessible by following the ridge trail SW from the parking area for about 30 meters/100 feet.
