I recovered this Oregon State Highway Department benchmark from 1937 in good condition although the disk face has been painted over with yellow paint and it's impossible to read the disk designation stamping. This disk is a standard OSHD disk monumented on top of a concrete curb on the west edge of Highway 199 and a few feet northwest of a metal light signal. There may be some spraypainted numbers or letters around the disk for easier identification. The disk stamping also reads 'REFERENCE' in addition to the 'B.M.' stamping. This disk does not appear in the NGS database but shows on a topography map as 'BM 1335'. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
