Datasheet Description:

The new azimuth mark could not be set on line since a power line has been constructed with a pole exactly on line between the station and the azimuth mark. The reset azimuth mark can be located by the original description, however, it is now set on the same side of the highway in a new concrete curb and not in a headwall as previously. The old mark was not removed and has since been buried in the new highway fill. Airline distance and direction from nearest town--Ltr of Arizona Hwy Dept. Dated may 20, 1964--
