Site form for Site 3PU0427. Site 3PU0427 is a historic homestead found on top of a ridge and along its north slope. Although the date of occupation is unknown, it appears to likely be from the 1920s to the 1940s. Because of the lack of subsurface deposits with only 10-15 of it intact, it's ineligible for inclusion into the NRHP.

Site form for Site 3PU0428. Site 3PU0428 is a historic residential site, probably part of the community of Macon Ark. There are four features identified for this site. Due to extensive bulldozing observed at the site (which is probably from the construction of the Air Force Base) the site only retains 10% contextual integrity. Due to this this site is ineligible for inclusion into the NRHP.

Site form for Site 3PU0429. Site 3PU0429 is located on the southeastern bench of a knob, just below the crest. The site appears to be a historic homestead, probably dating back to the 1930s to the 1940s. Considering the limited integrity and artifact density of the site it is ineligible for inclusion into the NRHP.

Site form for Site 3PU0430. Site 3PU0430 appears to be a historic residence, possibly dating back to the 1940s to the 1950s and probably associated with the community of Macon, AR which is presently 200-300 m north of the site. The site area has been so extensively disturbed by bulldozing that it is considered ineligible for inclusion into the NRHP.

Site form for 3PU0431. Site 3PU0431 consists of several structural remnants and is thought to date late in the historic period. No function could be determined for the site, which appears to have suffered from extensive disturbance, with only an estimated 10% remaining intact. Therefore, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP.

Site form for 3PU0432. Site 3PU0432 is a small lithic scatter of an unknown prehistoric period, which appears to be severely disturbed by clear cutting, bulldozing, levelling of Maintenance Station #99, deflation, and sheet erosion. It is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP.

Site form for 3PU0433. Site 3PU0433 appears to be a site dating to late in the Historic period, late 19th/20th centuries. The site area appears to have been clear cut in the past. Any standing structures were razed, with only a few rubble piles of sandstone remaining. In view of the extensive bulldozing identified at the site, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0434. Site 3PU0434 is an extensive and elaborate historic site, probably a residence, with a total of seven features: 1) sandstone-lined cistern; 2) Concrete slab; 3) Sandstone and mortar foundation; 4) Partial sandstone and mortar wall; 5) Two large depressions; 6) Dry-laid stone wall; 7) Two Dry-laid stone walls. Due to the extensive bulldozing observed at the site, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP. No further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0435. Site 3PU0435 is a historic site, probably a residence which may date to the 1930s. The site is highly disturbed, with many dozer piles containing sandstone slabs and cobbles and bulldozer scars and has only an estimated 3-5% contextual integrity. Due to high degree of disturbance observed at the site, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0436. Site 3PU0436 is a historic residence or farmstead. Although the site has been severely impacted by bulldozing, two features remained to be identified. Feature 1 is a cistern, built of dressed, stacked-sandstone. Feature 2 appears to be a sandstone foundation. Unfortunately, the site only has an estimated 5-8% contextual integrity remaining, making it ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP. No further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0437. Site 3PU0437 is a historic residential site which appears to have been occupied late in the Historic period (ca. 1930s to 1950s). The site appears to have been leveled by heavy machinery down to ground surface, and is estimated to have 10% contextual integrity. Due to the extensive disturbance observed and the low density of artifacts observed, site 3PU0437 is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0438. Site 3PU0438 is a historic residential site or farmstead. The site area been severely impacted by bulldozing and burning. There is also a modern trash dump on top of the site.

Due to the extensive disturbance noted at site 3PU0443, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work...

Site Form for 3PU0444. Site 3PU0444 appears to be a 1940s to 1950s farmstead, probably associated with either the 1945 Ordnance Plant or the town of Taneyville. It consists of six features as well as an intact set of cement steps and a moderately dense subsurface artifact scatter. Unfortunately, the late occupation of the site and the disturbance noted are considered to make it ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0445. Site 3PU0445 appears to be a historic residence or homestead estimated occupation in the 1940s and 1950s. The site appears to have been leveled with heavy machinery and, considering the melted glass and burned sandstone, was also burned. In view of the extensive disturbance noted at the site and the late date of occupation, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0446. Site 3PU0446 appears to be a residential site, probably dating to the 1940s or 1950s. The structure has been highly impacted, as it appears to have been leveled by heavy machinery and the rubble removed, leaving the site with an estimated 3-5% contextual integrity. Given the extremely limited contextual integrity and the apparent late date of occupation, the site is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and nor further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0447. Site 3PU0447 is a historic site dating from the 1940s to 1950s. The site area appears to have been clear cut, which may have promoted erosion and thus explaining the lack of soils at the site. The site consists of a rock-lined pathway, a badly collapsed depression, and a surface scatter of artifacts. Overall site integrity is estimated to be 2 to 5 percent. In view of the lack of contextual integrity and the late period of the site, it is considered to be ineligible for...

Site form for 3PU0448. Site 3PU0448 has multiple structures and may be multifunction, probably dating to the 1940s or 1950s. The site area appears to have been clear cut at some time and then kept clear. All structures have been leveled to ground level and mostly removed. These disturbances appear to have left the site at most 10 percent contextual integrity. The site may be part of Toneyville. Given the extensive disturbance noted at the site and presumed late date of occupation, it is...

Site form for 3PU0449. Site 3PU0449 appears to have been occupied late in the historic period and may not be of an age to make it eligible for inclusion on the NRHP. The remnants of two structures were found, along with a moderately dense surface scatter of trash. There is a lot of evidence for bulldozing in the area, leaving the site with only 5-10% contextual integrity. In view of the high degree of disturbance at the site and its apparent late date of occupation, it is considered to be...
