NY0475 - SPRR 'YX 4' Bolt - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This NGS bolt monumented by Southern Pacific Railroad is imbedded on top of a stone headwall that is part of an underpass for the railroad tracks for which Ouxy Spring flows through. It is located on the NW corner and west of the tracks. There is also a nearby benchmark (PID NY0476) located on the other side of the tracks in the SE corner.
