This USGS benchmark is located on the east side of the current Ashland, WI city hall/police department. It is a vertically-situated benchmark cemented into an outside wall. The NGS datasheet indicates that it was originally stamped with a "650 WIS 1919" but a recovery note later on the NGS datasheet indicates that there is no stamping on the disk, as is shown in my photo of the benchmark.
