Slope, San Clemente Island , California, William E. Greenwell, 1862; Stehman Forney, 1878.—On the highest point on a long ridge sloping to the ocean, the first to the west from Smugglers Cove. About 150 meters to the north of the station runs a large gulch. In 1862 a hole was drilled in the fixed rock to mark the station. In 1878 a leaden bolt and copper nail were driven into this hole, the nail marking the center of the station. Three reference drill holes were made; to the east, 6.6 feet; to the south, 8.4 feet, and to the west, 9.9 feet. [[Annual Report of the Director, U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey, 1904]
