Relative position | Boob Creek is is a north-flowing tributary to Mastodon Creek. For this record, the site is plotted about 2.6 miles southeast of the site of Tolstoi, at the south boundary of sec. 8, T. 25 S., R. 10 E. The coordinates mark the approximate midpoint of placer mining along Boob Creek, near a cabin marked on the U.S. Geological Survey Ophir B-3 topographic map. Boob Creek is locality 2 of Cobb (1972 [MF 367]). The location is accurate. |
