This geodetic survey marker (specifically, it's a "Triangulation Station Disk", with ID AK2464) was emplaced in 1955 and lies south of the Complex 9 launch structure. The text of the marker reads as follows:

U.S. COAST & GEODETIC SURVEY REFERENCE MARK
FOR INFORMATION, WRITE TO THE DIRECTOR, WASHINGTON, D.C.
$250 FINE OR IMPRISONMENT FOR DISTURBING THIS MARK.

The arrow in the center points toward the launch structure. Note the correction: "NAVAHO" was originally misspelled as "NAVAJO".
