The gold sites are noted and shown with a numerical number next to each site are the REAL DEAL. These gold sites represent where gold has been found in the past according to the USGS MRDS data base. ( Note: The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) data base does not specify what minerals, if any, are found in their data base. The blm data base only shows active or inactive claimed areas where someone is prospecting are had been prospecting. The claimed areas could contain minerals ranging from silver to gold to copper to uranium to sand or just rock without any value. ) The number is referenced to a north latitude and west longitude point. The gold sites are shown adjacent to access roads and streams. The sites are plotted on a USGS topographic map which shows the contours, streams, points of interest, and forest areas of the land. A 'P' next to the record number shows were placer gold deposits have been found. Roads are highlighted in red and old Miners Camps / Historical towns are shown on the gold maps. Recreational Gold panning is allowed within the National Forest.
