I recovered this National Geodetic Survey vertical control mark from 2001 in good condition. It is monumented on top of a concrete headwall in the SW corner of a bridge that spans an irrigation canal and just south of 66th Ave and just west of Hwy 111. This mark appears to have been reset for the third time, as two previous NGS datasheets list a 'G 516 RESET' disk (PID# DX3684 and PID# DX3553). This mark does not appear in an updated NGS datasheet. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
