NY0123 - OSHD '4699.44' Station Mark - Klamath County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this NGS station in good condition. I didn't attempt to recover RMs or AZ mark. The datasheet description is adequate for station recovery with the exceptions that Hwy 66 is now known as Hwy 140 and there is a newer culvert located just east of the station.
