If you mean that it is not in the NGS database, there is nothing left to do.

I contacted the NGS about a benchmark I found, that was on the USGS map but not their D/B.

their response was that if it wasn't in their D/B, they didn't care.

 

You could post a photo for us, though.

What kind of mark is it?

What agency?

 

Is it like any of these:

I would guess DMATC-GSS may stand for Defense Mapping Agency Traverse Control - Geodetic Survey Station, or something to that effect. I would imagine it must be near some military installation.

 

The GLO was the federal agency in charge of the public lands before it was replaced by the BLM, shortly after WWII, so any GLO markers are also cadastral rather than geodetic, which means that information pertaining to them will usually be found in property boundary records stored in state offices and county courthouses, rather than in a national database.

Yes, I found the disk on Little Rock, AFB in Jacksonville, AR.
