Comments on the location information

  • NICHOLS (1968, P. 5) SHOWS THE LOCATION TO BE ON THE NW SIDE OF A POND AND CREEK, A LITTLE MORE THAN A QUARTER MILE NW OF HIS MAIN PROSPECT. HIS MAP DID NOT HAVE ACCURATE CORNERS, BUT HIS LOCATION WAS ON THE NW SIDE OF THE CREEK AND POND, WHICH IS NEAR THE C-N2-NW-NE-3-4N-20W.
