| Relative position | Ring Creek is the south -flowing headwater tributary of Right Fork Bluestone River in the west-central Teller A-3 quadrangle. Sainsbury and others (1969) mapped the location of placer mining operations along the principal west tributary to Ring Creek from the confluence at 440 feet surface elevation, upstream 0.6 miles to a surface elevation of 500 feet. This locality was not included by Cobb and Sainsbury (1972) or Cobb (1975). |
