Location
Loc about 22.5 km se of the town of bassano, on a very prominent knoll surmounted by a rock pile near the ne corner of sec 3-19-18-w4m. From the town of majorville follow a road e 8 km, then s on a prairie trail for 4 km to a power line. Turn e and follow the power line for 9.7 km, from here the station can be seen about 3.2 km to the s on the highest point. An "indian rock cartwheel" is about 9 m s of the sta and 12.8 m w of a fence line. Station is marked by a brass geodetic triangulation tablet, stamped 26615, set in a standard concrete monument 30 cm above ground level.
