Comments on the location information

  • LAT/LONG ARE APPROXIMATED
  • County name is Broadwater. However, original lat/long plot in Madison county. Original coordinates were: lat/long NAD27 45-25-10N 111-40-1W (45.4194 -111.6667); UTM N5029545 E447839 Z12N; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 008 N, RNG 001 W, Sect 24, Sect_fract NE. PLSS coordinates translate into 46-26N 111-40W, 1 degree, 1 minute north of the original lat/long. The reporter likely mistyped the latitude so it was increased by 1 degree, placing it in Kimber Gulch, Broadwater county, amidst dozens of other small gold operations.
