MW0497 - USC&GS 'M 501' BM - Siskiyou County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey BM from 1954 in good condition. It is monumented on top of a circular concrete post projecting about four inches above the ground. The NGS datasheet is adequate for station recovery (enen the original wooden witness post is still standing). This station appears on a topography map as 'BM 4615'. The NGS coordinates are way off but my more accurate posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
