RD2729 - USC&GS 'TIGARD' Triangulation Station - Tigard, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey triangulation station from 1946 in good condition. It is a brass disk monumented on the on the north side and in the NE corner of a railroad overpass bridge. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'TIGARD'. My more accurate coordinates should place you very close to this mark.

The Azimuth Disk mentioned in this datasheet is most likely destroyed. I made a quick search of the area described .6 miles SW of this station. There is currently heavy construction going on at the property and driveway described, with the pavement, asphalt and dirt lot torn up.

B.M. S 157 is in good condition.
