About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
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.

Comments
Comment (Location): DEPOSIT NUMBER IS THE MAP LOCATION NUMBER FROM MF-880A. LAND STATUS VALUE CALCULATED 6-94 USING GIS OVERLAY ANALYSIS WITH BLM 1:2,500,000 SCALE OWNERSHIP STATUS MAP (1991).
Comment (Deposit): ACID DIKE IS PARTIALLY (LOCALLY UP TO 30%) REPLACED BY QUARTZ AND MINERALIZED. IT'S AVERAGE WIDTH IS 2.5 FT. ORIENTATION OF DIKE IS SIMILAR TO COUNTRY ROCK. IT'S DIKE IS TRACEABLE FOR UP TO 4 MILES, BUT IT IS NOT CLEAR IF IT IS MINERALIZED FOR THIS DISTANCE
Comment (Workings): SEVERAL OPEN CUTS AND A 50 FT TUNNEL
Comment (Commodity): THOUGH GOLD IS VISIBLE TO UNAIDED EYE, ONLY TRACES SHOW UP IN CHANNEL SAMPLES
