I recovered this Oregon State Highway Department BM from 1941 in good condition. It is a brass disk monumented on the north side and in the NE corner of a railroad overpass bridge and next to another NGS triangulation station title 'TIGARD'. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
