Relative position | The approximate location of the Stipek and Kotovic prospect is between 150 and 350 feet elevation on the south flank of Mount Byrntson. The map location is at 300 feet elevation on the divide between Glacier and Rock Creeks, in the east-central part of section 23, T. 10 S., R. 34 W., Kateel River Meridian. It is locality 7 of Hummel (1962 [MF 247]), who erroneously called it the Hot Air prospect. It is included with other Rock Creek area prospects in locality 43 of Cobb (1972 [MF 463]; 1978 [OFR 78-93]) and is one of three prospects numbered 14 by Cathcart (1922, figure 18 and p. 241). The location is accurate to about 500 feet. |
