We were on our way from Ajo to Organ Pipe National Monument (and ultimately into Mexico) this morning when we happened to spot what looked like a round concrete monument alongside the highway. We stopped at a convenient pulloff to check it out, and we were in luck—there was indeed a benchmark disk set in the top of the monument! It is part of the 333 line that follows this highway. The disk and monument are in good condition.
Recovered in good condition. The witness post no longer exists. Handheld GPS WAAS-corrected coordinates are 32 09 57.7(N) 112 45 48.8(W).
