This mark has three different designations associated with it. The original monumenting agency was the Oregon State Highway Dept. L439 1950.

The Stamping LCCM 86007 was a later add on by Lane County, I am unsure of its significance.

LCCM 1224 is not stamped on the mark at all but the online database clearly describes it as the same mark as "OREGON STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT BRASS CAP MARKED "L 439 1950".

The Following information comes from the Lane County Surveyor online maps

"DESCRIPTION: T20S R3W S28 STATION NAME: LCCM 1124 STATION IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF COTTAGE GROVE. STATION MARK IS AN OREGON STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT BRASS CAP MARKED "L 439 1950" SET IN A CONCRETE SIDEWALK OF BRIDGE OVER COAST FORK OF WILLAMETTE RIVER. TO REACH THE STATION FROM EXIT 174 (COTTAGE GROVE) OF I-5, TRAVEL W'LY ON COTTAGE GROVE CONNECTOR TO HWY. 99. TURN RIGHT AND TRAVEL N'LY ON HWY. 99 TO THE BRIDGE OVER THE COAST FORK OF THE WILLAMETTE RIVER (LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF RIVER RD. WHICH HEADS W'LY). THE STATION IS FOUND ON THE SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE BRIDGE."

The map that details the The control map where LCCM 1124 is described is only viewable using Internet Explorer. Use the LCCM search box and enter the number 1124.
