Mine Info
Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Location): Original lat/long was 48-55N, 117-25W, so generic that another reporter used the same coords (10090620 Keough). Note lack of seconds, and the minutes rounded to 5. This plotted in Pend Oreille county but he record's political location is Stevens county. The mindat.org lat/long plots in Stevens county so it was used to replace the original lat/long.
