Comments on the location information

  • UNSURVEYED AS OF 1946; BRIDGER WILDERNESS LAND STATUS VALUE CALCULATED 7-94 USING GIS OVERLAY ANALYSIS WITH USFS LAND OWNERSHIP BOUNDARIES, 1:126,720 SCALE.
  • Relative position stated as "1.5 MILES SE OF GREEN RIVER LAKE". AB Wilson, unable to determine where this relative position came from--probably based on erroneous coordinates that placed it in SE4 of Sec. 15 instead of in Sec. 10. A.B. Wilson moved coordinates to plot near the center of Sec. 10, in the Permian Phosphoria Fm (from the state geologic map).
