Comments on the location information

  • ABW corrected location per USGS MF-54, site #43. Corrrected location is in T47N, 17W (not 17N). Location is not labeled on the other cited references: MF-24, superseded by GQ-78. (Former poor lat/long in NM ws probably computed from the erroneous 17N township).
