This reference mark is located about 80 feet at a bearing of 27 degrees from triangulation station LARAMIE. It is set in the top of a square concrete monument projecting about 3 inches above the ground. While the U.S. Power Squadron recovered this reference mark in "poor condition" in 1992, I would state that the mark is in good condition. Despite some minor cracking in the concrete setting and several small dents in the center of the disk, the mark is legible in its entirety and still points truthfully to the station mark.
