MW0270 - USC&GS 'Y 506' BM - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4141'. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery although the abandoned farmhouse is now gone. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
