NZ0112 - ORDT '2135=S 75' BM - Ashland, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this Oregon State Highway Department benchmark from 1931 in good condition. It is a brass disk monumented on top of a culvert on the southwest side of Hwy 66. The mark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 2136'. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery with the exception that the market tavern is currently a private residence. My more accurate coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
