I can't answer that question, but I can tell you Yellow Pine is big enough to have streets but too small to have Street View. Stibnite doesn't seem to have any buildings at all.

It's a pretty rough haul, but certainly not out of bounds for a Model T. Steep. The kind of road that would have been considered pretty fair in the day. If you go, make sure of accommodations even if you're camping. Rock slides and forest fires can be a problem so check on local conditions. I'd go !! :D

I used to haul heavy equipment in and out of Stibnite. Not for the faint of heart!
Owner of the company rode in one time with the job sup.
sat on the floor of the pickup for a lot of the drive.
Couldn't stand looking out the windows!
