LU0098 - USC&GC 'S 546' BM - Redding, CA - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey from 1957 in good condition. The original wooden witness post as well as a metal witness post are located near the station. This benchmark also appears on a topography map as BM 652. the NGS datasheet description is adequate for benchmark recovery and my posted coordinates will put you very close to this station.
