Comments on the location information

  • UTM EST NW 1/4, NE 1/4 AND NE 1/4 NW 1/4
  • Used PLS and GIS to determine lat/long.
  • The reference says Butte County, but the PLS is in Plumas County. There are workings in the area shown on the Soaphill 7.5 topo map, so I believe the PLS is correct and the county incorrect. I have changed the county for this record.
