Some of - these ,naps are p ublished as U. S. Geological Snr:-vey Miscellaneous Field Studies Maps (MF series) and some as U.S. Geolog i cal Survey · open-File Reports (OF series); see index map. An earlier unpuhlished version of this set of maps was the data base from wh i ch plate 4 (scale I :250,000) of DeWitt and others (1986) was comp i led. Subseq uent to that publication, the set has been r evised and updated, and prospects and patented claims have been added. These revised and more detai l ed 1:24,000-scale maps should be used for the equivalent areas of plate 4 of DeWitt and others (1986). SOURCES OF INFORMAT I ON Outlines of p ate n ted mining claims were obt ained from l:24,000-scale Forest Service Status Plats, available for inspection at the U.S. Forest Service, Rocky Mountains Region, 11,117 West 8th Avenue, Denver, CO 8022 5. Names of patented claims were obtained from the Crook County Courthouse, Sundance, Wyo[lling. Claims have been located as accurately as possible, but thii; map is not intended to be use d for legal nor precise l ocations of mining claims. Locations of mines and prospe(:ts were compiled from all available pub! ished and unpubl ishe d data. The locations of fictive and inactive mines in this quadrangle were taken from Dunha,rr (1946), Harris, Hausel, and Meyer (1985), Hausel and others (1979), Hill and Lindgren (1912), Oster~a l d and ot hers (1966), Staatz (1983), U.S . Bureau of Mines (1986), U.S. Geological Survey (1986), and Wilmarth and Johnson (1953). Also, in some instances, differen t sources of information gave conflicting location i nformfltion for mines with the same name. Where possible, this conflict was resolved by comparing the name o f the mine to adjacent pat e nted claims, by comparing the description of the deposit to the known geology and topography of the area, or by communication with past owners of thi property. I n some instances, a unique location could not be determined using exi s ting information; in th;:it event the most logical location was chosen. The location of some or many mines on this map may differ from those in present data ba ses such as the U .S. Bureau of Mi n es Mineral Inventory Location System (MILS) or the U.S. Geolog i cal Survey Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS), formerly the Computerized Resources Information Bank (CRIB), Locations of prospects in this quadrangle were taken from Staatz (1983). Because many quadrangles, or parts of qua drflngl es, h ave not been mapped in as much detail as o th er quadranglei;, comparii;on of the density of prospects from one quadrangle to another, or even within one quadrangle, should not he attempted . As an example , part of a quadrangle may be shown on the map as having more prospects than another part, but the fi r st part may have been mapped in greater det a il than the second part. Similarly, a part of a quadrangle may have many prosp e cts that are not shown on thi s map because the or iginal source of information did not map prospec t pits. Geologic data for the map are from Brown (1952), Chenoweth (1955), Darton (1905, 1909), Darton and O'Harra (1905), DeWitt and others (1986), Dunham (1946), Fashbaugh (l979), Jenner (1984), Karner (198 1 ), Lis e nbee (1981, 1 985), Love, Christiansen, and McGrew (1978), O~Toole (1981), Robinson, Mapel, and Bergendahl (1964), Staatz (1983), Staatz and other s (1980), White (1980), and W i lkinson (1982). PRECISION OF LOCATION INFORMATION All mine symbols except the unfilled diamond (0) indicate that the location of the deposit is known within a 200-foot radius. The type of opening at a mine (adit, shaft, open pit, trench, and others) is designated by one of ten different symbols, The unfilled diamond symbol indicates that the location is known only to within a 1/4 mile radius and that the type of mine opening is unknown. Mines and prospects whose locations could not be verified to within closer than a 1/4 mile radius were not plotted on the map. PATENTED CLAIM AND MINE LISTS Patented mining claims are listed both numerically and alphabetically. Mines are listed alphabetically. For ease in locating the claim or mine on the map, the legal description (section, township, range) is given. Each patented claim on the map is represented by number keyed to the numeric and alphabetic listings. possible, the claim numbers are plotted approximately center of the clai 1u and parallel to its long axis. a Where in the Roundaries between adjacent claims are not shown, An asterisk(*) following a claim number indicates that most of the claim is in this quadrangle, but it extends into the adjacent quadrangle. A dollar sign($) following a claim number indicates that most of the claim is in the adjacent quadrangle, but part of it is in this quadrangle. Claims outlined with a i;olid line are patented lode cla i ms; claims outlined with a dotted line are patented placer claims. Many placer workings on unpatented claims have not been pl otted on the maps, principally because the workings lacked a name, On the map, the most common or most used name of a mine is normally next to its mine symbol. If there is space, any alternate names or synonyms are in parentheses following the most common name. On some maps, where space does not permit showing the first name or any alternate names, the names are shown by a single letter, ~wo letters, or an abbreviation of the name; the mines are keyed to that letter or abbreviation in the alphabetic and numeric lists. Mines with more than one name have the alternate name(s) or synonym(s) shown i n parentheses in the alphabetic lists. The first alternate name or synonym is also alphabetized in the alphabetic list of mines; second or third alternate names may not be alphabetized. Uncertain alternate names are not alphabetized and are followed by a query (?), CLASSIFICATION OF MINES AND DEPOSITS Mines and deposits are categorized according to geologic criteria of age, environment of formation, and contained metals, as in DeWitt and others (1986, p. s2~ 53). Deposit-type letter designations (M, W, and so on ), corresponding to those in DeWitt and others (1986), are used in the alphabetic list of mines. The criteria used for the deposit types are briefly summarized below and are explained more fully in DeWitt and others (1986). PRINCIPAL TYPES OF DEPOSITS M--Carboniferous or Permian high-calcium limestone is a bedded sedimentary deposit formed in a shallow water marine environment about 250-350 Ma. Precipitation of calcium carbonate from seawater and accumulation of organisms rich in calcium carbonate created the deposits. W, X, and Y--Paleocene or Eocene disseminated and carhonatite deposits are fracture-filling, vein, and disseminated concentrations of bai;e, precious, and ra r e.- earth-element metals formed in a plutonic to subvolcanic environment about 50-60 Ma . Fracturing and metasomatic alteration of Tertiary alkalic igneous complexes and associated carbonatites resulted in precipitation of sulfide and carbonate minerals. W, thorium-rich deposits containing thorium and manganese and minor amounts of uranium. X, rare-earth-element-rich deposits containing lanthannm, cerium, other rare light - rare- earth elements, lead, barium, strontium, and minor amounts of thorium and uranium, Y, precious metal-rich deposits containing gold, tellurium, and minor amounts of silver. CO--Coal deposits in the Lower Cretaceous Inyan Kara Group are stratabound accumulations of organic remains that formed in a fresh-water environment about 100- 150 Ma. Organic substances, mostly plant remains, were modified into subbituminous coal and carbon-rich sedimentary rocks. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS J. J. Norton, J. A. Redden, J •. P. Gries, and W. L.
