What kind of site this is
Drawn as a quarry or pit, where the rock or gravel itself is the product. The ore color stands for sand and gravel, construction. 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.
This location is classified as a mineral prospect or occurrence — a site where minerals have been identified but no significant mining has taken place. These sites typically have minimal environmental impact but indicate the presence of mineral deposits in the area.
