MW0210 - '115 GWM USGS' BM - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I located this benchmark after seeing it listed on a topography map as BM 4225. The benchmark is in great shape although the original wooden witness post has burned down to the base from a fire that spread through the area in 2005.
