"NOGLS 4200" is a benchmark monumented by the USGS in 1903 located in Cochise County, Arizona.
The benchmark is along the old railroad grade, in a promient boulder under a low-lying tree.
To reach the benchmark from Tombstone, follow Alan Street to a power substation. Turn right (northwest) to the Ed Schieffelin Monument. The road after the monument requires a high clearance vehicle. Parking at the monument is suitable for low clearance vehicles. Follow the main road to a track road to the right. Follow this road to a bridle path along the old railroad grade. Follow this path to the benchmark on the right.
