Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Missoula county, Montana. However, lat/long plots 5 km inside adjacent Clearwater county, Idaho. Original coordinates were: lat/long NAD27 46-39-35N 114-43-38W (46.6597 -114.7272); UTM N5169641 E673885 Z11N; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 010 N, RNG 024 W, Sect 04, Sect_fract <blank>. PLSS coordinates translate to WGS 46.659 -114.6287, very close to Granite Pass on the Missoula/Clearwater border. Longitude was decreased by 0.1 to 114.628 to match PLSS and county name.
