Notes

  1. The location was listed in the mine notes as “102 rods (1,683 feet) W of SW corner of SW 1/4", which puts the mine in a different section than specified. No sketch was supplied in the mine notes to correctly decipher this location.
  2. The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
