U.S. Landmark Survey 1915 - Surprise, AZ - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

In the far northwest corner of Surprise, the desert is slowing being turned into more red roofed houses. But in 1915 the area would have been 35 miles from the center of Phoenix, the only settlement at the time. Now a railroad tie is being used to support a fence, but the cows are long gone. Next to the tie, atop a short pipe is this green colored metal marker. Stamped onto the marker is U.S. General Land Office Survey 1915. Penalty $250 For Removal. 1/4 S 19 S 20.
