Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Geology): ANOMALY IN RED-BROWN FINE GRAINED SANDSTONES & CLAYSTONES & RED-BROWN SHALES OF GREEN RIVER & WASATCH FM
Comment (Deposit): This is an area of weak uranium mineralization. There are no uranium mines in the area. It is a curiosity, not a deposit.
Comment (General): A.B. Wilson moved all the comments out of the references fields. Added the only reference for the general area but it does not describe this site specifically.
