Disclaimer - I, Eric Stack, have verified this to the best of my ability utilizing MinDat.org, RandyMajors.org, Google Earth, and FCC.gov(convert Google Earth cords to decimal) to locate the Section, Township, and Range of the locations. There were some discrepancies in the original map, so I am verifying using modern sources. Spelling will remain as it did in 1977. I am merely bringing this information onto the web so people can find it in their research.
