The guys at the USGS office in Rolla correctly
identified this as part of "1000". It is the elevation
of a benchmark on a road that runs between section
13 and 14. The one in "1000" is partially obscured
by the stream line.
Thanks to all that helped,

It appears that the three circles are part of the number "1000" which is the elevation for a benchmark. The symbol is right on the section line between section 13 and 14, and the "BM" label is just inside section 14.
