Comments on the location information

  • HEAD OF MILLER CREEK
  • Original political location in record was Mineral county. However, lat/long, PLSS, verbal descriptions HEAD OF MILLER CREEK and 6 MI SW OF PLAINS all agree with each other, and indicate a location 2.3 km inside adjacent Sanders county. So, the county name was changed to Sanders.
