| Relative position | Location not confirmed. There are no obvious pits north of the interstate in this Township between Robinson and Tipton. There are two gravel pits shown on the topo in NE4 Sec. 16 south of the Interstate and west of Robinson that are not in the database nor on CR-2. Many surface distrubances in this area make it difficult to identify which might have been sand pits. |
