We unexpectedly found this National Park Service survey marker while driving the Mesa Top Loop in Mesa Verde National Park. The disk is set in a tall concrete post projecting about 2 feet above the ground, so you really couldn’t miss it. It is just off the road near one of the excavated pithouses. The disk is in excellent condition. I wish we could find a source for descriptions of these marks!
