Comments on the location information

  • Original lat/long NAD27 48-39-55N 120-43-20W (48.66318 -120.7222), falls in Okanogan county, near Whatcom county line. The location accuracy was said to be within 1km. However, political location shown is Whatcom county. Mindat.org lists another Slate Creek district mine 9 miles NW in Whatcom county. Anacortes Mine 48?46'32"N , 120?49'29"W. MRDS shows several mines in the Slate Creek district about half that distance away and centered on upper Slate Creek. So the Geonames Slate Creek (center) location was used, 48 44N, 120 45W.
