Satelite View

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

Comment (Reference): U.S.G.S.PP]S F-1250 AND F-1251 (4-Z5-54) LOVE AND MURPHY [ABW unable to determine what this means. Ran searches for all USGS publications co-authered by Love and Murphy. Looked up all publications beginning 1250 and 1251. Can rule out USGS Professional Papers, Bulletins, Miscellaneous Field Studies, Geologic Quadrangles, and Miscellaneous Investigations series 1250 and 1251. Possibility this could be Murphy and Love, 1958, Tectonic development of the Wind River Basin, central Wyoming: American Association of Petroleum Geologists Rocky Mountain Section Geological Record, April, 1958, but did not confirm.]
