Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Lewis and Clark county. However, lat/long plots in Teton county. The two counties are adjacent but lat/long is not near the shared border. Original coordinates are lat/long NAD27 47-57-N 112-47-W (47.95 -112.78333); UTM N E Z; PLSS Meridian- Montana Principal, 014N, 009W, Sect 17,08,07, Sect_fract . PLSS coordinates are in Lewis and Clark county, translates to 46 58N, 112 46W, a difference of 59 minutes lat, 1 minute long. Likely the reporter meant to type 46 degrees N instead of 47. Lat/long so changed using WGS84 datum. New lat/long falls in Section 18, possibly the centroid of an arc-shaped deposit in the originally reported sections 17, 8, 7. No UTM coords present.
