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 (Location): Reference say "about 4.5 miles northeast of Corona, Riverside County, California. The PLSS does not have townships in this area. The PLSS table is an estimate and I changed what was there because it was obviously wrong. The Lat/long is an educated guess - very low accuracy given the description of the location in the report.
