On the east side of Old Coulee Road, this benchmark is right at the edge of a grain field, with two orange witness posts and a wooden stake beside it, making it quite easy to spot. It is about 1,000 feet north of a trio of radio towers and a microwave tower. The tallest of the four is the transmission tower for radio station KEYG-FM, Grand Coulee.
