JR0252 - USC&GS 'L 359' BM - Mineral County, NV - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & geodetic Survey from 1953 in good condition. It is a brass disk monumented on top of a circular concrete monument projecting about 5 inches above the ground. The original wooden witness post in addition to a newer carsonite witness post are located nearby. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4776'. The NGS coordinates will place you reasonably close to this mark.
