MS0702 - Designation: FARR - Farr West, Utah - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Located in Farr West along 2000 West and about 1000 North on the east side of the road. You can spot the witness post next to a hole by the fence. You may need to remove debris fron the hole to see the disk but it is a great find. A good reference is the Cal-Ranch store across the street to the north.
