A former placer Au occurrence/mine located in the SW¼SE¼ sec. 5 & in the NW¼NE¼ sec. 8, T8N, R13E, MDM, 0.4 km (0.3 mile) WSW of Brownsville, and 1.7 km (1.1 miles) SSE of Omo Ranch, on private land. The property is comprised of 67 acres. Operated by Leslie C. Baughman, et al. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 100 meters.
The alternate name provided for this locality in the USGS MRD database files is the "Volcanoville." This is most probably an error since this mine is not anywhere in proximity of Volcanoville and the name "Volcano" has no demonstrable attachment to that locality (a coincidence).
Local rocks include Tertiary pyroclastic and volcanic mudflow deposits, unit 9 (Cascade Range).
