NZ0164 - USGS 'Q 6=3036' Pipe Cap - Steinman, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey pipe cap from 1903 in good condition, although it is tilted in its monumentation. The cap has been hammered on over the decades but most of the stamping was legible. The last good log from 1954 mentions structures that are no longer existent. In fact, the railroad looks to be defunct. My more accurate posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark.

NGS datasheet info (virtually all identifiable structures are gone):
