I believe this benchmark - and the towers - are gone. The location is in the middle of the Van Ness extension subdivisions, north and west of Van Ness and Alluvial. The only thing there is very expensive homes - and no towers anywhere to be seen. (And it's been years since anyone has heard from station KARM.)
