I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey station mark from 1968 in good condition. The nearby reference mark's disk was found missing but the stem was found projecting on top of the boulder. This disk series is also listed on a topography map as 'AVILA'. The NGS datasheet description and NGS posted coordinates are adequate for station recovery.
NGS datasheet info:
01/01/1968 by CADH (MONUMENTED)
DESCRIBED BY CA DIV OF HIGHWAYS 1968 THE STATION IS LOCATED ABOUT 14 MILES NORTH OF SUSANVILLE ON HIGHWAY 139 IN THE SE 1/4 OF SECTION 20, T 32 N R 12 E. TO REACH THE STATION FROM THE JUNCTION OF MAIN STREET AND HIGHWAY 139 IN SUSANVILLE, GO NORTH ON HIGHWAY 139 FOR 20.64 MILES TO CATTLE GUARD AT SUMMIT OF HILL, CONTINUE FOR 0.25 MILE AND STATION 74 FEET EAST AND 8 FEET ABOVE CENTERLINE OF HIGHWAY. THE STATION IS A STANDARD DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS DISK STAMPED USC AND GS LITTER 1968 SET IN A 9-INCH CONCRETE MONUMENT FLUSH WITH GROUND AND MARKED WITH A METAL POST WITH SURVEY MONUMENT SIGN 2 FEET WEST. REFERENCE MARK IS A STANDARD DISK STAMPED USC AND GS LITTER 1 1968 AND SET IN A 2-FOOT BY 2-FOOT ROCK OUTCROP.
