| Relative position | This alluvial placer gold mine is on Banner Creek, a west tributary to Nome River opposite Sparkle Creek (NM302). The mouth of Banner Creek is 1.1 miles south of the Nome-Taylor road crossing of Nome River. Placer mine workings are present along at least a half mile of the central part of Banner Creek, between surface elevations of 150 and 250 feet. The map location is at the approximate midpoint of the placer workings, south of the center of section 5, T. 10 S., R. 33 W., Kateel River Meridian. It is locality 113 of Cobb (1972 [MF 463], 1978 [OFR 78-93]). |
