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): DISCONTINUOUS DEPOSIT OF MAGNETITE-ILMENITE IN ANORTHOSITE
Comment (Deposit): "The deposit extends 1500 ft. along the southesast side of a northeast trending ridge, but is not continuous. The strike is northeast and width of the bodies varies up to 10 ft. Contact of maggetite-ilmenite with anorthosite is sharp, and schistosity in country rocks is parallel to the trend of the magnetite body. No ilmneite was seen in a polished section of material from this deposit."
