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 (Deposit): Model Name = Placer Au-PGE (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a)
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Good prospects were reported to be found on Dome Creek in 1901 (Mendenhall, 1902). It is assumed here that this reference is to placer gold prospects and that these were on the Dome Creek that has headwaters against Monument Mountain.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Cobb, 1981 (OFR 81-363A)
Comment (Geology): Age = Quaternary
