Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Location): MINBRAS lists location as Approx. Sec. 7, T52N, R92W. Both MAS records had R91W. Coordinates are for 91W. No reason given for choosing R91W instead of R92W. Was this a typo?
