Re: Grades of the United Verde & Pacific

I checked the valuation maps that I have and they don't have the gradient charts that some of the other RRs would add to the maps. Myrick's Vol. 6 does have an elevation chart for the line. There is a prety steady climb from about MP 5 (4800') to Russell around MP 12 (5540'). The grade then drops down through Bodkin to 5318 around MP 14. Then another pretty steady climb to Horseshoe Mp 21 (5972'). Then it is down and then back up to First View at 5770' MP 23. Then the drop down into Jerome Mp 25.8 at 5549'.
