Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Deposit): Summer of 1965 Centennial Development Co. completed a shaft in sec. 26, T28N, R78W, on the Nall Lease of the Homestake Mining Co. Activity on this property was suspended after about 1 year of developmental work and experimental mining. (Harshman, 1972, p. 7)
Comment (Names): REVISED BY MILS 9-79
Comment (Location): In NW4 of sec. 26 per #7 on pl. 7, p. 22 in MINOBRAS. The location is confirmed as in Sec. 26 PP-745. MS-94 erroneously places this mine 6 miles south of this location.
