Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Location): USGS CIRCULAR 614, P. 13, FIG. 7, SAMPLE LOC. 3; USGS MF-389, LOC. 16. LAND STATUS VALUE CALCULATED 6-94 USING GIS OVERLAY ANALYSIS WITH BLM 1:2,500,000 SCALE OWNERSHIP STATUS MAP (1991).
Comment (Deposit): SYENITE STOCK CONTAINS LOCALLY ABUNDANT DISSEMINATED PYRITE CUBES, AND A LITTLE FINE-GRAINED MOLYBDENITE. HIGH AG AND PB VALUES ARE PROBABLY FROM ARGENTIFEROUS GALENA. COPPER SULFIDE MINERALS REPORTED (PROBABLY CHALCOPYRITE) IN AREA BY OLD REPORTS. GALENA AND CHALCOPYRITE BOTH PRESENT IN STREAM AND CONCENTRATES.
Comment (Workings): NONE
Comment (Geology): SMALL SATELLITE STOCK OF GRANITE MOUNTAIN PLUTON, COMPOSED OF SYENITE.
Comment (Deposit): THIS SITE NAME WAS CREATED BY THE REPORTER OR OTHER USGS EMPLOYEE BASED ON PROXIMITY TO SOME MAJOR GEOGRAPHIC FEATURE.
