Mine Info
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.

Comment (Location): Strongly suspect that the prospect in sec. 25 is actually in the next Township to the west, T91W. This would be contiguous with the main block of Sec. 29-32. But deleted record 10133610 (MAS 0560370512) put it in T90W.
