I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey Benchmark in good condition. It is an aluminum disk monumented on top of a low-lying boulder projecting about 8-10 inches above the ground. This disk was most likely monumented between 1905 and 1908. The NGS coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
