However, the lat/long and PLSS, plot in Missoula county. The site name indicates a location on Petty Creek, which agrees with the lat/long, PLSS and Missoula county. The location description 7 MILE SOUTH OF LOTHROP also agrees. So the county name was changed to Missoula. The PLSS range was changed from 0234 to 023W.}
