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 (Production): TO BEGIN PRODUCTION IN 1981 - PROPOSED. ABWilson moved this comment from the references to the comments. And changed the development status from producer to prospect. It does not appear that this property ever went into production.
Comment (Location): ABWilson moved the location from Sec. 16 to shared sec. 1/sec. 6 boundary as shown on figure 2.21 of Dahlkamp.
Comment (Development): ABWilson changed the workings from surface to well to reflect the solution mining. There is no record of this "mine" in the literature prior to Dahlkamp, 2010. The mentions in the mindat.org and mineralmundi.com sites clearly just used the original MAS record with no additional material.
