About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
Mine Info
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 (Geology): Age = Cretaceous or younger, mineralization is hosted in Cretaceous metasediments.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Berg and Cobb, 1967
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = There are surface workings only.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The area of this occurrence is underlain by a Cretaceous melange comprising tectonic blocks of Paleozoic and upper Mesozoic cherty tuff, chert, argillite, and fine-grained volcanic sandstone, in a matrix of argillite, slate, shale, and graywacke (Wilson and others, 1998). The deposit is described only as a gold-rich occurrence (Berg and Cobb, 1967).
