| Relative position | According to Buddington (1929, p. 67-68 [B 807]), the Victoria group of 25 claims, staked in the early 1900s, are four deep along the international boundary west of Mt. Dolly. The map site is at the presumed center of the group of claims, in section 13, T. 68 S., R. 99 E., of the Copper River Meridian. It is at about 2100 feet elevation, and 1.0 mile northwest of Mt. Dolly. The coordinates are for this site. The site corresponds to loc. 4 on pl. 2 in Buddington (1929) and to loc. 9 in Elliott and others (1978). The location is probably accurate within 0.3 mile. |
