LU0072 - USC&GS 'S 118' BM - Shasta County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1932 in good condition. It is located on private property but a metal witness post can be seen from the road. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as BM 635 and has the elevation of 634.592 stamped on the disk face. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. My posted coordinates will put you directly on benchmark.
