| Relative position | This occurrence is on a glacial moraine at the head of a small east tributary to the Stony River. It is at an elevation of about 4,600 feet, 2.6 miles west-northwest of Snowcap Mountain. The map site is in the NE1/4 of section 23, T 16 N., R 25 W, of the Seward Meridian. This is locality 7 of Cobb (1972 [MF 412]; 1976 [OF 76-485]) and Cobb and Reed (1981). The location is probably accurate to within a quarter of a mile. |
