A Cr occurrence located in sec. 9, T2N, R5E, HM, 17.6 km (10.9 miles) E of Yager Junction. NOTE: The MRDS database provides file #10030577 for data regarding this locality. That file references another file (#10284871) as another relevent file. Checking the latter file it is apparent that it is totally unrelated to this locality based on conflicting data between the files; therefore, data from the latter file was not included in this locality file.

Local rocks include rocks of the Franciscan Complex, unit 1 (Coast Ranges).

A small amount of ore was mined or shipped.
