Datasheet Description:
The station is about 16 miles north of Tucson, 5-1/2 miles south of Oracle Junction, about 1/2 mile east of BIG WASH and on the summit of a low hill 0.1 mile west of U.S. Highway 80. To reach the station from the southeast entrance to the Evergreen Cemetery on the north side of Tucson, drive north on U.S. Highway 80 for 15.1 miles to a macadam surfaced side road on the left and the azimuth mark. Turn left, cross a cattle guard, thence turn left again and drive south on dim tracks for 0.3 mile to the summit of a low hill and the station. Surface and underground station marks are standard disks stamped ORO 1962. The underground-station mark is set in the top of a mass of concrete 40 inches below the surface of the ground. The surface-station mark is set in the top of a cylindrical concrete monument, 12 inches in diameter, projecting 3 inches above the surface of the ground. It is 6.5 feet south of a metal witness post with sign attached. Reference mark 1, a standard disk stamped ORO NO 1 1962, is set in the top of a cylindrical concrete monument, 12 inches in diameter, projecting 2 inches above the surface of the ground. It is about the same elevation as the station.

It is 3 feet north of a barrel cactus and about the same elevation as the station. A standard bench mark was used for the azimuth mark. The disk, stamped E 399 1962, is set in the top of a cylindrical concrete monument, 12 inches in diameter, projecting 3 inches above the surface of the ground.
