What kind of site this is
NOTED AT THE SURFACE · GYPSUM-ANHYDRITESECTION · ILLUSTRATIVE

Drawn as a mineral occurrence: a place where a geologist noted the mineral, with no mining recorded. The ore color stands for gypsum-anhydrite. Federal records note the kind of operation and its status, not its depth or layout, so this is a typical example rather than a survey of this site.
