RD0301 - USCGS&SS 'F 104' BM - Portland, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey and State Survey BM from 1934 in good condition. This brass disk is monumented on the front face of Sylvan School. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
