The original claim was 600 feet wide, and 1500 feet long, and ran in a South-West to North-East direction. The Plat shows the discovery markers on each claim, but no other details of the site are shown. The consolidated claims, in line, one to another, covered roughly 600 feet in width, and nearly 5500 feet in length, some 73.5 acres in total.
