What kind of site this is

195019752000today

discovered 1960

Drawn as a small mine; the records don't say whether it was worked from the surface or underground. The ore color stands for manganese. 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.
