MX0059 - USC&GS 'A 13' BM - Weed, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Recovered in good condition. The 1988 NGS datasheet log is the most accurate for station recovery. An older, wooden witness post still stands close to this station. This mark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 3466'. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this station.

Per the NGS datasheet:
