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): "The site is in a remote area of the Wyoming Range; it consists of a prospect pit and an adit or decline which was blasted closed in 1992" (Martin, 1994, p. 30)
Comment (Location): Martin (1994, site report #23) states the deposit is in SE4 of Sec. 7, but gives coordinates for SW4 of sec. 17. These coordinates are midway between an iron and a phoshphate locality, all on the east flank of Fish Creek Mountain. A location in SE4 of Sec. 7 would be unlikely as that is mostly in Middle Piney Lake and would not have been described as a remote area as there is a campground and road access to the lake.
