I was out geocaching with my geocaching buddy jstxnorth. We spotted this Cadastral Survey Marker returning from geocache GC190P3, "Back Door to Sentinel Rock," at Lake Thunderbird, placed by The Dept. of The Interior, Bureau of Land Management, a short distance from the cache. The marker is for AP (Angle Point) 266, T9N R1W (Township 9N Range 1W)as referenced to the Indian Meridian.
