Relative position | This site, in section 18, T. 72 S., R. 87 E., of the Copper River Meridian, is at an elevation of about 1000 feet on the north flank of Gold Mountain, about 0.8 mile due west of the south tip of Forss Island in Helm Bay. The site is at the approximate center of a mile-square area on Gold Mountain, and represents a group of claims, including Annie, Mountain Top, Starry Banner, Fannie, Gold Dollar, Jewel, Gertrude, and Annex no. 1 (Wright and Wright, 1908, p. 156 and fig. 14; Cobb and Elliott, 1980, p. 45, 145-146), and Lone Jack (Gold Mountain) (Maas and others, 1995, fig. 46 and p. 192). The site corresponds to loc. 29 in Elliott and others (1978). The location is accurate within about 0.1 mile. |
