This U.S. Benchmark is a standard Monel-Metal Rivet set in the top of a box culvert for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. For this one you must park by the tracks and walk about a tenth of a mile. It looks like they have run new (ish) tinhorns under the tracks and abandoned this small box culvert, but it is still there. I had to dig the rivet out from under lots of gravel. You will find it on the west side of the track, in the top center of the culvert headwall.
