NY0434 - USC&GS 'M 547' BM - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey disk from 1954 in good condition. It is monumented flush with the surface on the northernmost part of a concrete retaining wall which comprises a pipe culvert and on the west side of the railroad tracks. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4089.7'. The NGS datasheet is adequate for station recovery. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this benchmark.
