SURVEY GEOMETRY — LAYER A

WDG #21 occupies the northwest quarter of T.480N., R.910W., Sec. 12, NW — approximately 20 acres of federally administered land in Fremont County, Wyoming. Under the General Mining Act of 1872, this parcel is identified by BLM serial number WY101605196 and is subject to annual maintenance obligations of $165 or equivalent assessment work.

LAND HISTORY AND NEWS — LAYER B

Fremont County's Wind River Range and South Pass districts were major 1870s gold producers, with the Sweetwater River and its tributaries yielding substantial placer deposits. Modern geology has identified epithermal gold-silver systems in the Carrock Range and associated mineralized corridors. The remote high-country terrain limits access but also preserves largely unprospected ground. The BLM Lander Field Office administers federal claims; this region sees growing interest from hard-rock prospectors.

FIELD ACCESS — LAYER C

The nearest mapped access corridor, osm:15793526 (mapped off-road route), lies approximately 664 feet from this claim's centroid. off-road vehicle clearance is required. Vehicle staging is feasible directly adjacent to the claim boundary.
