Relative position | The Roosevelt Hills prospects cover about 10 square miles and are situated on the southeast flank of a rounded hill, locally termed hill 1910. The approximate center of the prospect area is in SW1/4SE1/4 section 29, T. 10 S., R. 20 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian. The Kantishna River flows within 11 miles, and there is an airstrip at Lake Minchumina approximately 30 miles southwest of the prospects. The Roosevelt Hills are situated on land selected by or conveyed to Doyon, Limited and in the Denali National Preserve. |
