Beside the north wall of the old Cody post office building is a low brick and concrete frame which extends from the front basement window just past the third window. Inside the perimeter of the frame is an iron grating. K 26 Reset is in the top of the frame, at the northwest corner.

The original K26 was monumented in 1933, K 26 Reset in 1957. K 26 Reset doesn't have a separate datasheet so we're using the original one, for the original K 26. The coordinates for K 26 aren't sufficiently accurate for us to determine whether K 26 Reset was monumented is the same spot as K 26, but we suspect that it was.
