LODESTAR 6

LODESTAR 6 occupies the northeast quarter of T.60N., R.120E., Sec. 23, NE — approximately 15 acres of federally administered land in Amador County, California. Under the General Mining Act of 1872, this parcel is identified by BLM serial number CA101872067 and is subject to annual maintenance obligations of $165 or equivalent assessment work.

Amador County's deep-channel gravels and quartz lode systems made it a top gold producer during the Mother Lode era (1850s–1920s). Sutter Creek, Jackson, and Volcano served as mining boom towns — the Kennedy, Argonaut, and Jackson mines operated continuously into the 1940s. Today, paleochannel mapping has identified buried Tertiary and Quaternary pay gravels that remain largely untested by modern prospectors. Active claim renewal in the Jackson and Ione districts suggests sustained economic interest; the BLM Folsom Field Office handles surface administration.

The nearest mapped access corridor, osm:188537221 (mapped off-road route), lies 1.0 miles from this claim's centroid. off-road vehicle clearance is required. Vehicle staging is feasible along the route shoulder outside claim boundaries before the final approach on foot.
