Relative position | This lode prospect is on the same low knoll, locally called Arsenic Hill, along the west side of Rock Creek as the Rock Creek bench placer (NM210). Cathcart (1922, p. 245) described the location as opposite the mouth of Sophie Gulch. It is 3,400 feet due east of the Snake River road and about 1.6 miles south-southwest of Mount Byrnteson. Rock Creek is an east tributary to Snake River with headwaters on the south flank of Mount Byrnteson. The map location is midway between the 250- and 300-foot contours, just inside the north boundary of section 23, T. 10 S., R. 34 W., Kateel River Meridian. The prospect was included in locality 43 of Cobb (1972 [MF 463], 1978 [OFR 78-93]) and is locality 15 of Hummel (1962 [MF 247]). |
