Location: This occurrence is at an elevation of about 2,200 feet on a gentle, north-facing slope of a ridge that extends northeast from the top of Camelback Mountain. The occurrence is about 4.3 miles northeast of Camelback Mountain and about 0.6 mile southeast of the center of section 14, T. 29 N., R.43 W., of the Seward Meridian. The location is accurate.
