NY0557 - USC&GS&SS 'S 277' BM - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey and State Survey benchmark from 1934 in good condition. The datasheet info is mostly obsolete. This road is now Lone Pine Rd, there is no longer any transmission-power lines through here and the witness post is gone. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4378'. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
