U.S. Benchmark GH0559 is a metal pin under a hinged access cover. The coordinates in the data sheet are a bit shaky but it is easy to find, look for the bright yellow fire hydrant at the west edge of the parking lot and the mark is just a few feet east of there. This one does not get much use, the cap was filled with debris. You can park just a few feet away.

As mentioned above, the coordinates of this waymark are a bit of an improvement over those in the data sheet.
