This benchmark is located along along U.S. Hwy. 20, about 7.0 miles southeast of Brothers. The benchmark is set in a rock about 50 feet north of highway centerline. The benchmark was set by the Oregon State Highway Department in 1927 and marked 39, elev. 4564. The boulder the benchmark is in has been moved, so for official use it is destroyed.
