Relative position | The approximate location of the Buck prospect, as described in early reports (Wright and Wright, 1908, fig. 10; Elliott and others, 1978, loc. 117), apparently coincides with the location of the North Paula prospect, as described by Maas and others (1995, loc. 310). The map site is for the North Paula prospect, at an elevation of about 150-175 feet on the NE flank of Punch Hill (sec 17, T. 77 S., R. 91 E., of the Copper River Meridian). The location of the North Paula prospect is accurate within a hundred feet or so. |
