Relative position | The Hummel Canyon prospect is at an elevation of about 2500 feet in Section 20 about 0.2 mile northeast of the mouth of Hummel Canyon and 0.4 mile southwest of Disappearing Lake (Berg and others, 1977, p. 92; Elliott and Koch, 1981, p. 12, l0c. 35). This location is probably accurate to within about a quarter of a mile. |
