NOTE: The map coordinates listed are from USGS Quad maps. The three-letter abbreviation indicates the map and the direction coordinates will give you the section (i.e. NW is North West). You can get an approximate location on Google Maps by entering the USGS map coordinates (remove the periods after the direction abbreviation). The feature you're looking for is usually close by.
If you log in to Google Maps, you will be able to use their new Beta tools. One of the tools will allow you to drop a GPS marker on any location.
