NZ0495 - USGS '936' BM - Wilderville, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey BM from 1904 in good condition. It is a pipe cap in a concrete sleeve and projecting about five inches above the ground. There is a metal witness post next to the cap for easier recovery. A tree is encroaching on the concrete sleeve. This mark is listed on a topography map as 'BM 938'. The cap contains the elevation stamping of '936.9' stamped on its face. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
