A quarter section corner stands on the west line of section 30, township 37 south, range 1 west of the Willamette Meridian. Government surveyors Butler Ives and George Hyde first established this position with a wood post in 1854. In 1893, county surveyor C.J. Howard, son of J.S. Howard, Medford's first mayor, set the present stone monument. The Medford town plat ties to this corner. It was dedicated on May 20, 1985, in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Public Land Survey System and the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Medford.
