Set in a 4"x4" concrete block at foot of a wall - We have searched www.ngs.noa.gov and found nothing of this benchmark. Closest one is "PID DX4727" - located on THE ROOF of nearby Villa Park High School - roughly 0.7MI NW of this location.

The Curb along Villa Park Road is marked with pale orange spray paint "BM" and a line - and the concrete block also has an orange line on it.

FOUND the Data Sheet! (visit link)
