About 7 kilometres north of Beaverdell, this benchmark was another really easy find, partly because the witness post is actually visible to the keen eye on Google Streetview. I was able to jump out of the car and walk directly to it.

This is just southeast of a bridge over the west Kettle River, on which is BM 79C404, monumented on the top of the northwest abutment.
