Help requested with disc ID

[+CasualObserver]

Hi All,

 

I read the FAQs and checked out all the various gallery pages but I couldn't find a match for the disc I found.

 

I found this disc at the White Rock Overlook in Los Alamos, NM while on vacation there last week. I'm guessing it's some kind of National Park marker - obviously not a survey or a benchmark. The letters on the disc are: KPE WR AP 1 1964

 

Any thoughts on what this is?

 

Thanks!

Greetings, CasualObserver; I've been to the overlook I think you're talking about. Typically, anytime you see a disk without a clear agency name, and that has 3 letters, you're looking at a local surveyor's mark w/ their initials. My guess is that WR AP 1 is White Rock A(?) Park, and this is the first disk in the series put down there when the park was created, which would fit with the 1964 date. It's called Overlook Park, but perhaps it was named something else before then.

It could possibly be White Rock Angle Point 1, for some sort of boundary marker.

 

My 2 cents,

I would agree with CallawayMT. I thought 'Angle Point' when I first saw 'AP'.

 

Do you have coordinates of the mark? It would help us view it on a map and help figure out what it is.
