MW0237 - USC&GS 'L 602' BM - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1940 in good condition. The disk is monumented on top of a square concrete post projecting about 12 inches above the ground. There is a metal witness post near this station to aid in recovery. This BM is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4166'. The NGS coordinates and datasheet description are adequate for station recovery with the exception that the concrete culvert mentioned and the original wooden witness post are both gone.
