Benchmark recovered but no in USGS Database

We were up on Coosa Bald in North Georgia for a SOTA activation and I found a USGS benchmark disk stamped COOSA 1934.  However, this particular mark is not listed in the USGS database by name and does not appear on the benchmark map.

 

Could this mark have possibly been forgotten about or the reference sheet lost years ago?  There is another mark listed with the name COOSA, but it is located in Rome, GA, monumented in 1972, and is nowhere near the summit we were on.

 

There also appears to be a COOSA 1873 that was located in Rome, and replaced by the COOSA above when it was not recovered.
