MW0185 - USDA '4893.4 USFS' BM - Lassen County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Forest Service disk from 1935 in good condition. This disk series is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4899'. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery although the old sawmill and nearby witness post are both gone. My more accurate coordinates should place you close to this mark.
