Notes

  1. The escape / air shaft is just east of the main slope. The air shaft or slope (not clear on the source map) is not shown on the accompanying map because the map could not be georegistered.
  2. The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
