The better known nearby mines were the Golden Crest, the Oro Hondo and three named Emma, after an agile young woman who worked in the local boarding house.

In Lawrence County, the site is reached by taking US 385 south out of Deadwood about seven miles, and then a gravel road signed Galena and Sturgis.
