This benchmark was once monumented along what I believe to be a spur of the Colorado and Southern Railway (which is now a fading railroad grade). The mark has been uprooted from where it once sat, but has been stood upright just across the fence off to the southeast side of Eastonville Road. One does not need to cross the fence to see the benchmark.

For some reason, this benchmark was not listed on the website that I typically use to access NGS datasheets (however, it can still be found by searching the designation or PID on the NGS data sheets site).
