On the southbound lanes of US97 in the curb of a bridge across Willow Creek. On the SE side of the bridge, near the NE end.
Although not stamped, this mark may be Y 432, which is described in the NGS Data Sheet for WILLOW [QD1586]. In the STATION RECOVERY (1947) it is stated that the azimuth mark for WILLOW, 2245 [QD0666], was replaced by Y 432 when the bridge over Willow Creek was rebuilt. No horizontal tie to WILLOW was made, and there does not appear to be a Data Sheet for Y 432.
