MW0229 - USC&GS 'T 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 benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4472'. The NGS coordinates and datasheet description are adequate for station recovery.
