It is 700 feet west of the contact of the Tin Creek stock (see Sainsbury, 1969, plate 6). Tin Creek is an east tributary to Lost River whose confluence is located 4.5 miles upstream from the mouth of Lost River on the Bering Sea. This is locality 9 of Cobb and Sainsbury (1972). Cobb (1975) summarized relevant references under the name 'Yankee Girl'. |
