Report: The Harvey Creek Placer has had small intermittent interest in it. There was some production previous to 1904 and then some work was done in the 1940's (Trauerman and Waldron, 1940). It was not visited because of the small nature of the deposit and because it was a placer. It plots on the Harvey Creek 7.5-min. quadrangle in sec. 23, T10N, R15W. It is on Lolo National Forest-administered land but is administered by the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
