The location is accurate within 2 miles.
Geology: The bedrock underlying Gold Run Creek is Paleozoic phyllite and quartzite (Puchner and others, 1998). Mertie (1936) reported that prospecting occurred on this creek prior to 1933. There probably was no mining on this creek (Eberlein and others, 1977).
