QE2063 - NGS 'CORVALLIS MUN APT TANK' - Corvallis, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this municipal water tank in good condition. First observed by the National Geodetic Survey in 1972, this water tank is one of two structures that survive today from when Corvallis Airport was once a WWII Army Air Corps training base. This water tank is still in good condition.
