| Relative position | The Jim-Montana property lies in the hills immediately south of the North Fork Chandalar River and approximately 8 miles south-southwest of Reds Lake. The reference point is located near the south-center of the Jim-Montana claim group (secs. 28, 33, T. 35 N., R. 6 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian) and is generally the same as loc. 34 in DeYoung (1978). The claims extend approximately a mile west-northwest and east-southeast from the reference point. The Jim-Montana [and IF(?)] property is west of and contiguous with the Mowgli-Sher Khan claim group (CH094), and together they form one large claim block. The location is accurate within a 1-mile radius. |
