Found BM in great condition while searching for a geocache at the same coordinates (GCGEDX). It is roughly 2 to 3' outside of the bridge on the southwest abutment. I cannot find any information about it in any databases, so I am adding it as a waymark so others may enjoy it as well! It actually shows up on the Topo map view as 'BM 506' and has '83 FAD 1957' engraved on it. It is 3.9 miles N of Millerstown, Pa.
