At the request of SRP, LSD completed a Class III cultural resources survey of 3.5 miles of fence line on the Salado Preserve south of St. Johns, Arizona. The survey resulted in the recording of three previously unrecorded sites, LSD-11, LSD-12, and LSD-13 and a total of 12 isolated occurrences (lOs). The locational data for 7 of the lOs was inadvertently lost. However, lOs are not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and require no further investigation or...

Humanity's resourcefulness inspired two attempts to draw life out of the desolation of Central Arizona's Salt River Valley over the past 1,500 years. Building over the remains of an irrigation culture left behind by lost Indian tribe, the Hohokam, federal and private engineers of the early 20th Century adapted much when the United States Reclamation Service completed first its major work, the Theodore Roosevelt Dam. The scale of Reclamation's plans separate the two efforts. The Roosevelt Dam...
