MW0274 - USC&GS 'U 506' BM - Modoc County, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition although the disk face has been hammered on by rocks, the disk stamping is still legible and the disk itself is still sound in its setting. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4203'. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
