Comments on the location information

  • The political location in the record was originally Powell county. The lat/long plots in Granite county according to the MAPINFO county coverage. ArcGIS plots it 10 meters inside Granite county using the County100 borders. Google Earth plots it 60 meters inside Powell county. Since the deposit likely extends into both counties, Granite was added to the county names and promoted to first place.
