Comments on the location information

  • EST. The location given in Clark and Lydon (1962) is T.6N., R. 13 E. MDM, 2 1/2 miles NW of West Point. But, then it says "on N side of South Fork of Mokelumne River." This would most likely place it SW of West Point, not NW.The best guess is in Section 16 and that is where I determined lat/long using a PLS and GIS.
