Comments on the location information

  • Original political location in record was Powell county. However, lat/long plot just across the line in adjacent Granite county. Original coordinates were: lat/long NAD27 46-49-0N 113-16-16W (46.8167 -113.2711); UTM N5187077 E326745 Z12; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 012 N, RNG 013 W, Sect 08, Sect_fract NWNWNW. This mine is shown on Elevation Mountain quad topo, just inside the Powell county line. The deposit likely extends into Granite county so it was added to the record's political locations. Powell county was promoted to first place in the list. Geonames location is NAD83 46.8165991 -113.2722937 464900N 1131620W. Lat/long were changed to the Geonames coords. PLSS coords remained correct.
