Comments on the location information

  • NOTE: NDMI (1975-1977) REPORTS THIS PIT IN SEC. 17, IN SEC. 21 (1981, 1982), AND IN SEC. 28 (1987-1990). THE CARSON LAKE 7.5-MIN. TOPO MAP DOES NOT SHOW A GRAVEL PIT IN EITHER SECS. 17 OR 28. THIS RECORD IS PLOTTED ON A PIT IN THE SW/4 SW/4 SEC. 21 WHICH WE BELIEVE IS THE SITE OF ALL THREE PITS REPORTED BY NDMI.
