Survey marker up close

Shafer Trail, opposite the Goose Neck

This marker identifies the intersection of four survey "sections" in the
land survey scheme used in the West. The stamped data is translated so:
Township 27 South, Range 20 East, at the corner of sections 7, 8,
18, and 17. Don't you feel better knowing that?

I do feel better! Let me guess: shores of the Colorado River, about a mile SW of the Dead Horse Point overlook? Looks like the kind of rock you see around Moab.
