| Relative position | This occurrence is on a ridge along the east side of an unnamed east tributary to the Styx River. It is at an elevation of about 5,300 feet, 0.8 mile west of peak 6665. The map site is in the SW1/4 section 11, T 18 N, R 21 W, of the Seward Meridian. This is locality 13 of Cobb (1972 [MF 412]; 1976 [OF 76-485]) and localities 16 and 17 of Gamble and others (1989). The location is probably accurate to within a quarter of a mile. |
