QE0633 - USC&GS 'V 54' BM - Corvallis, OR - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This NGS benchmark is located on the front step in front of Dryden Hall on the campus of Oregon State University. The datasheet coordinates are very inaccurate and my posted coordinates will put you at ground zero.

This benchmark also acts as an Azimuth Mark for the COLLEGE series of benchmarks located between Dixon Recreation Center and Intramural field across the street from Dixon (PID QE0628).

Benchmark is in good shape.
