Field notes
The landing page illustrates California's Northern Mines, Colorado's Alma and Fairplay placers, and Malakoff Diggins in a bare-earth lidar view. It says creek pages show a rank, score, and reasons, while saved pins can include notes and work offline; those functions are described on the public page but are not independently testable from the extracted material. Coverage is broad but not county-complete: each listed state includes known gold districts, not every county.
