NZ0161 - USCGS 'H 548' BM - Jackson County, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. It is monumented on top of a concrete base of a bridge overpass. This station is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 3388'. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this station.
