12JFS Rural Republic MO Benchmark - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

We stumbled across this while looking for a place to hide a cache. It sits on top of the bridge post and is in very good condition. I don't know a thing about benchmarks so if anyone knows how to decipher the markings or codes please email me. We'd like to know more about benchmarking but the website terms are way over our heads! Reads "US Geological Survey Bench Mark 1959" and is marked with 12JFS in center.
