MINING CLAIMS OF SECTION BK-27
BLUE Claim boundaries and names are those shown by Cleveland Taylor, 1925 and Troxel & Morton, 1962.
GREEN boundaries and names are those shown by Shepard, Wheeler & Rhodes, 1898.
GOLD fills the 1908 boundaries of the Yellow Aster Mine, later enlarged.
Where claims straddle two Sections, we’ve put the text in the Section using up the most real estate.
