Work History
Four coal leases owned by F.W. Morrison, for which the staking records have not been found, were surveyed at this location in Sep/09.
Capsule Geology
No outcrop has been mapped near the claims but a water supply ditch near the south edge reportedly exposed lignite bearing conglomerate and shale of Eocene age. The staking was probably based on coal float discoveries in streams that drain the property.
