North Gold Creek Sand and Gravel

Section

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.
