If you're looking at that plus symbol that's a data control point that doesn't have the usgs monument in place.

Howdy folks.

 

I have a client who is trying to figure out what the symbol “T” means on a USGS topographic map (see below).  The map is from 1940 and I don’t see any interpretation of it on the USGS key of symbols (https://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/TopographicMapSymbols/topomapsymbols.pdf).  My suspicion is a transmission or telephone line, but that’s only a guess.  Thanks for your help.
