Comments on the location information

  • Original location N-48-30 W-118-50 plots in Ferry county which disagrees with the political location, Okanogan county. Mindat.org describes location as western slopes of Wasco Hill. Geonames has no entry. PLSS coords are 33N 31E Sect 9. The center of the section 9 translates to 48-22-28N 118-55-15W. This location agrees with the political location, Okanogan county. So the original lat/long was replaced with center of section location.
