Comments

Comment (Location): County name is Silver Bow. However, lat/long plots in Beaverhead county. Original coordinates for were: lat/long NAD27 45-0-44N 112-32-10W (45.0122 -112.5361); UTM N4985238 E378953 Z12N; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 003 N, RNG 008 W, Sect 13, Sect_fract . PLSS coordinates fall exactly 1 degree N in Silverbow county. Two duplicate records exist about 1km SSW of this location: 10019641 and 10124769. So the reporter likely mistyped the latitude degrees. Latitude was increased by 1 degree to 46.0122. This record lacks a reference, so it should probably be deleted.
