The letter following the Monumented/Observed date indicates:
O = Observed

First history is dated after subsequent history report

The letter following the last report date:
D = Last reported "Destroyed"
N = Last reported "Not Found"
P = Last reported "Poor"
S = Last report indicates "See Description"
* = Last report is prior to a previous report

Red text indicates a value that is not present on the NGS datasheets but was determined by Zhanna's research. PIDs are clickable links to the updated NGS datasheets.
