Comments on the location information

  • CLAIMS EXTEND INTO IDAHO.
  • Political location in record is Ravalli county, MT. However, lat/long plot in Lemhi county ID. Original coordinates for line#1 were: lat/long NAD27 45-28-22N 114-18-0W (45.4728 -114.3); UTM N5038801 E711049 Z11; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 004 S, RNG 022 W, Sect 22, Sect_fract <blank>. UTM coords agree with lat/long. Recalculating lat/long using WGS84 moved the point 240m N, still 130m short of the Ravalli county line. Point was arbitrarily moved another 279 m NNW to agree with the county name, PLSS coordinates, and the comment that claims extend into Idaho (implying the prospect is mainly located in MT). UTM coords were cleared.
