Is This Mark Even Usable?

While Geocaching on Table Mountain near Sonora, CA, I found this mark. It is very exposed, dented, and wobbly. It's an Army Corps Boundary marker for the Sacramento region (I assume. Can't find anything about it on their website). Would this mark even still be active, as it is loose?

 

Also, can anyone tell me where I can find any info on this? I did a search, but nothing came of it.

You would have to contact the local district of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USE) for information. That mark is there for a purpose, even if its in poor condition it is still of value. It may be a boundary marker or other survey control point.

 

USE does not routinely publish their control data. fyi--Those marks of the USE that appear in the NGS database are there because of NGS surveyed data. In other words, NGS found the mark and used it instead of establishing a new one next to it.

 

Hope this helps?
