Comments on the location information

  • Apparently this "prospect" is in 2 widely separate locations (roughly 3 1/2 mi apart) in NW Sec. 20 and NW Sec. 35. Because they are so separate, there are two entries for this "prospect". See also 10254141 (old MAS 0560070366 and MRDS W900447). Terry Klein has located the Mohawk listed as the NW Sec. 35 near the corner section of Secs. 26, 27, 34, and 35. That is the location used here.
  • Terry Klein states that the "approx. location of prospect based on Beeler's 1902 description; covered by patented claim(s)". This refers only to the part of the prospect originally listed in NW sec. 35.
