This benchmark is located along an abandoned section of the old Century Drive, about 0.65 miles west of the road to Todd Lake. The cap is set in a large boulder, about 100 feet north of the current highway and on the north edge of the old road. The cap was set by the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey in 1942 and was marked Z358. The present Cascade Lakes Highway replaced the old Century Drive in about 1965.
