MW0297 - USC&GS 'D 505' BM - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4714'. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
