Thanks to all of you for your input. I'm getting quite an education. I think I know where the benchmark in question is located, so it will be interesting to visit the site, confirm that it's there, and then see if I can find any signage or markings that correlate to the description.

I thought I would give benchmark hunting a try, so I looked up the descriptions of some in my area. One of the descriptions includes the following information: "58 feet left of highway station T 6 795 + 65." The description was provided by the California Division of Highways in 1967. I searched the Clatrans web site, but didn't find any reference to highway stations. On the premise that the only dumb question is the one not asked, I'm hoping someone in the forum can help me understand what a "highway station" is, and how I decipher/use the station's designation. Also, although this may be obvious from the definition of a highway station, how do you determine the direction of "left"? Thanks.
