Relative position | The occurrence is at an elevation of 1700-1800 feet about 0.75 miles southwest of the shore of Tarr Inlet and about 5 miles northwest from the mouth of the inlet. It is in the NE 1/4 SW 1/4, section 28, T. 33 S., R. 51 E., of the Copper River Meridian. The occurrence is the same as number 63 of MacKevett and others (1971, table 9), and is probably in the same general area as number 26 of Kimball and others (1978), which is in the adjacent Mt. Fairweather D-4 quadrangle. The location is probably accurate within a radius of 0.25 mile. |
