Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: DEERLODGE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010201 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: M Impact: Report: From McClernan (1976): Early drift on Independence Creek has been mined in two large pits, which were reported (Pardee, 1951, p. 92) to have produced exceptionally pure gold (968 fine). The gold is very rough, and because the host gravels and boulders have not been reworked by streams, it is thought to have been plucked from vein outcrops. |
