Comments on the location information

  • It is possible that this is a duplicate of "Unknown (East of Rock Creek)". This record is listed in MINOBRAS simply as Rock Creek in Sec.s 21, 28, and 32 of 23N-118W. The other record is in Sec.28, T22N, R118W. If these are, in fact, duplicate records, there is no way to determine which township is correct, though I'd lean towards 22N as cited in Bull. 50 because it is described as 2 mi. north of Nugget Station. In which case, this record could be deleted.
