At the coordinates you will find an ornate bronze disk with a symetrical pattern of relief and 4 large directional letters around its circumference. The disk is on a pedistal so that it sits about 20 inches from the ground. It is a work of art and is also informative. For instance, you will find out that the Yaquina Head Lighthouse is 4 miles from this spot on a bearing of 341 degrees.
