GS0952 "2253 B 80"

My Wife and I were able to spend a few days in and around Death Valley National Park, exploring the Valley, Badwater Basin, Furnace Creek, Stovepipe Wells, as well as Beatty and Rhyolite, Nevada. Found some benchmarks while we were there too, including this one. Located some 18 miles southwest of the Town of Beatty, Nye County, Nevada, at the entrance to Death Valley National Park at Hell’s Gate, this USGS mark lies just east of the intersection where Daylight Pass Road and Beatty Road merge, and southeasterly and across the road from the Death Valley National Park Information Area. The USGS mark stamped "2253 B 1907 80" was found at 11:45, 17 February 2022 as described and in generally good condition. Go to description is adequate to find the mark. Published NAD83 coordinates are located about 10 feet northeasterly of the found WGS84 coordinates. WGS84 coordinates for the mark found by 2 minute occupation with 9 strong satellites and 1 WAAS satellite. View Original Datashe
