Denver Federal Center USGS old benchmark (Elevation 5662) - Denver, CO - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

The USGS office at the Denver Federal Center teaches a free map, compass and GPS class which I attended several years ago. They demonstrated how technological improvements have aided cartography by using the two USGS Benchmarks in front of the building. This benchmark was found to be off by about 100' when they USGS employees began to teach the class. So they had a second, more accurate benchmark placed at the more accurate location (WM7RWR).

The coordinates on the benchmark read: Elevation 5663 feet above sea level; NGVD29; 39 42 42.9N; 105 07 30.0 W; NAD27

1. A closeup photo of the mark taken by you is required.
2. A 'distant' photo including the mark in the view is highly recommended. Include the compass direction you faced when you took the picture.
