This a land survey (cadastral) mark, not a geodetic mark, so it is unlikely to have an elevation or lat-lon data sheet anywhere.

 

It marks a 1/16-section corner (40 acre tract) on the line of sections (mile square blocks) 28 and 33, set by the land surveyor with license number 5716.

 

But with GIS training, you probably knew that.

...and didn't even know that this agency (USFS) even set marks.

 

Bill did a great job responding to your question.

 

I just wanted to show you two (non-cadastral) cases where the USFS set marks that are in the NGS database. One is vertical control and the other is horizontal.

Found one of these up near Dunsmuir, California. It was on a bridge spanning the Sacramento River. A little beat up (what is with defacing these things?) but clear enough to read. I find them in old ranch lands which are now Open Space parks, quite often.

 

Yeah, this one was east of Sacramento, along Hwy 50. A few feet from N38 45.864 W120 32.286
