Geologic descriptionAn unpublished National Park Service map and accompanying database identify this as an area of mining claims and mill sites. Some are for a copper lode mine and camp but they may primarily have supported exploration of deposits on the valley walls of Chitistone River, such as the deposits at MC200 and MC207. | |
