Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Beaverhead county, Montana. However, lat/long plots 2.7 km inside adjacent Lemhi county, Idaho. Original coordinates were: lat/long NAD27 45-31-35N 113-52-8W (45.5264 -113.8689); UTM N5045214 E275962 Z12N; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 003 S, RNG 018 W, Sect 33, Sect_fract SWNWSE. PLSS coordinates translate to 45.527 -113.83, about 2 minutes due east and in Beaverhead county. So the longitude was changed to agree with the PLSS coordinates and county name. Datum was changed to WGS84 because it resulted in a location more consistent with the rest of the evidence.
