Make it easy on yourself and under "Feature Class" find the word Mine. There are two, one in Lassen County and one in Plumas County. It will give you the longitude and latitude and you can also bring up a map (hope you're better at those than I am). From that information you can get a good Geological or Regular Map of the area and hopefully it will be on it and show if there are roads to it. With the longitude and latitude you can get a handheld GPS and find the exact spot. Truthfully if I were going up there I would contact some local people and see if they could direct me to the place. Hope this helps, Gretchen _http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=120:1:9469922711222413240_ (http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=120:1:9469922711222413240) _Search_ (http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=120:1:9469922711222413240) ORIGINAL QUESTION: From: Margaret A Wooden Subject: RED ROCK MINE, PLUMAS COUNTY, ca Would like to find location of above mine and if it is accessible by vehicle and, also, was it an 1850-60 mine?
