| Relative position | Eakin (1968, p. 8) reported that placer gold has been found on a small lake between the two arms of Lake Nerka. For this record, the map site is in the NW 1/4 of section 6, T 8 S, R 55 W, of the Seward Meridian. It is on a small lake on the northeast flank of the uplands between the two arms of Lake Nerka. It is arbitrarily chosen to represent the occurrence reported by Eakin. It is very approximately located, probably within miles. Cobb (1972 [MF 375]; 1976 [OF 76-606]) included this occurrence under the name 'Lake Nerka'. |
