Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Beaverhead county. However, original lat/long plots 5.5 km inside adjacent Deer Lodge county. Original coordinates were: lat/long NAD27 45-56-16N 113-10-12W (45.9378 -113.17); UTM N5089205 E331779 Z12N; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 001 N, RNG 013 W, Sect 14, Sect_fract SESWNW. The PLSS coordinates translate to WGS84 45.837 -113.188 (45 50 13N 113 11 17W). The lone reference refers to the prospect symbol on Foolhen Mountain quad topo. This symbol is at NAD83 45.83757 -113.18759, good agreement with the PLSS location. So the lat/long was changed to the symbol location, agreeing with the county name.
