| Relative position | Eakin (1968, p. 8) locates this occurrence about 8 miles east of Marsh Mountain and on the northeast side of the Muklung Hills. The only parts of the Muklung Hills within 8 miles of Marsh Mountain are in the headwaters of an unnamed east tributary to the Muklung River. This location is tentatively concluded to be on the northeast side of the small hill between the Muklung River and the headwaters of this tributary. It is very approximately located, perhaps to within several miles. It is possible that Eakin was referring to an occurrence on the northeast slopes of Muklung Hills reported by Mertie (1938, p. 91; DI006). The map site selected for this record is the NW 1/4 section 26, T 10 S, R 53 W, of the Seward Meridian. |
