This vertical control point is located about 0.15 miles south of Lava Cast Forest Road along the old 1926 alignment of Hwy 97 about 20 feet northwest of the old centerline. The rod and logo cap were set by the National Geodetic Survey in 1988 and the rim of the logo camp is stamped F791. There is a orange marker post nearby.
