| Relative position | Mertie (1938, p. 91) reported that fine placer gold was found on creeks draining the north and west sides of Tikchik Mountain. This location, on the north flank of Tikchik Mountain, is arbitrarily chosen to represent these occurrences. The map site is in the NW1/4 of section 26, T 1 S, R 52 W, of the Seward Meridian. It is very approximately located, perhaps within miles. Cobb (1972 [MF 384]; 1976 [OF 76-606]) included these occurrences under the name 'Tikchik Mountain'. |
