Datasheet Description:
The station is on the S and highest end of the Oracle Ridge, 11 miles S and 1/2 mile E of the town of Oracle. R.M. No. 1 Is WSW of the station and projects about 3 feet above ground. R.M. No. 2 Is NNW of the station and is flush with the ground. The azimuth mark is about 0.3 mile SSW of the station, on the w slope of a ridge about 30 yards E of a spruce tree with a square blaze on it. This tree is about 0.1 mile S of a cattle guard and 0.3 mile S of a pine tree with a triangle blazed on it and 60 feet E of the Summerhaven Road in a boulder projecting about 2 feet above the ground. All objects visible from a 4-foot stand. Station can be reached from Oracle by going on the Summerhaven Road for about 20 miles to the danger arch on the controlled mountain road. Continue on this road for 6.1 miles to a 10-inch triangular blaze on a 30-inch pine tree which is very near the top of a saddle on the ridge. This is the end of truck travel. The station is on the first rocky hill to the n of the saddle, about a 20-minute pack. The station is on the s end of the hill on the W side of the ridge falling rapidly to the W.
