This benchmark is a US Department of Interior benchmark and was found via MyTopo.com maps website. I'm almost positive this benchmark replaces a much older benchmark since the topo map that is used is older than the date of the benchmark (1984). The topography map also shows this benchmark as BM 4364 at this location. It is not located in the NGS database.

This benchmark was found in excellent condition - It's aluminum face is distinctive and stands out on top of the sidewalk that it's imbedded in.

There are two other benchmarks of this same category located on E Langell Valley Rd., SW of here.
