I recovered this Oregon State Highway Department benchmark from 1941 in good condition. It is a brass disk monumented flush with the pavement and on the north side of US-99W (Pacific Highway) and at the NE corner of a bridge overpass spanning Fanno Creek. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 166' and contains the stamping 'T 157' and '1941' on its face. This disk is not listed in the NGS database. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
