| Relative position | The Marguerite Creek placer gold mine is in upper Marguerite Creek, about 2 miles east northeast of Jumbo Dome. Most of the mining has been near the head of the creek, but some placer activity may have extended for some distance downstream. The map site is in sec. 13, T. 11 S., R. 6 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian. This is location 56 of Clark and Cobb (1972). |
