This survey disk benchmark is either in Los Alamitos, Orange County or Long Beach, LA County. It's located at the south end of the Coyote Creek bridge #55136 on the east side of Norwalk/Los Alamitos Blvd, on the sidewalk a half foot from the curb. PID is DY9043 and scaled coordinates are N 33° 48.900 W 118° 04.350 (NAD 83). BM 8930 is probably a local city designation. Photographed February 2010.

The close-up shows its designation as "County Engineer B.M. 8-24E R.E. 5869". Monumented in 1970.

A little farther north on the sidewalk is a cross chiseled in the sidewalk, designated "FES #5". There is another cross south of the bridge, "FES #4".
|
Also nearby (a little farther south from DY9043, on the sidewalk if I remmeber correctly) is a small disk with a spray-painted designation, "12303". The disk itself is difficult to read - the only readily visible stamping is "LA CO".

Another nearby monument - forgot exactly where this one is, think it's at the NW corner of Wardlow x Norwalk. Photographed May 2010.

The small washer-type disk doesn't offer much help in identification - it's rather plainly stamped "Orange County Surveyor".
