NY0200 - USCGS Azimuth Mark - Lake County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey Azimuth Mark from 1971 in good condition. This AZ is part of a benchmark series titled 'PAISLEY SOUTH BASE RESET' that originated with a station mark monumented in 1920 and later destroyed, then reset in 1971 and then destroyed again per the 2001 log description from the NGS datasheet.

This AZ (and now-destroyed RM 2 & 3 marks) were established in 1971 after the triangulation station was found destroyed in 1966. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for disk recovery.

NGS datasheet description from 1984:
