Location: Lynx Creek is not named on the Wiseman C-4 topographic map. Based on its description by Reed (1938), Lynx Creek is inferred to be a small drainage that flows into the east side of Wild Lake about 0.8 mile southwest of Spring Creek. The occurrence is at an elevation of about 1,250 feet near the mouth of Lynx Creek. The location is accurate within 1/2 mile.
Geology: Reed (1938) notes reports of good placer gold prospects near the mouth of Lynx Creek although no mining had been done. In Reed's judgment, the appearance of the creek suggested that it was unlikely that any significant concentration of gold had taken place. No other information is available.
Workings: Prospecting only.
Age: Quaternary.
