At the request of Salt River Project, an evaluation of Realignments 1 and 2 of the proposed D-2 alignment of the Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad has been prepared. Archaeological investigations of both realignments were conducted on two occasions. On April 13, 1976, an aerial reconnaissance of the realignments was conducted and on May 3-7, 1976, the proposed locations of 24 bore holes and 19 test pits, located along the realignment were surveyed. Based on information collected...

In 1982, Northland Research, Inc. performed a small fraction sample survey of potential agricultural development lands on the Gila River Indian Reservation. The sample was selected probabilistically. Results suggest that, within the probability limits of the sampling design, as much as 59,687 ± 21,272 acres of land within the 296,320 acre target area could contain significant archaeological remains requiring attention in any future development plan. In addition, it was possible to calculate...

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation was created by Congress in 1902 to build irrigation projects in the West. The Salt River Project, as one of the first reclamation projects, in a sense owes its life to the Bureau. However, the passage of the Reclamation Act was due in large part to the political influence of private citizens in the West, with prominent roles played by citizens of the Salt River Valley. So the Bureau at least partly owes its life to the Salt River Project. The two organizations have...

But, perhaps, closest to the...
