The East Lynn Reservoir is currently being constructed on the East Fork of Twelve Pole Creek, in Wayne County, West Virginia. This dam will be located about 3 miles upstream from the small town of East Lynn. Maximum pool after construction will be 701 feet from sea level. During the spring of 1964, the senior author made preliminary survey of the area and in the spring of 1965 the junior author conducted intensive survey and testpitting in the area to be affected by the reservoir.

The objective of the study is to determine whether additional Federal investment in transportation facilities in the Big Sandy Basin, in the form of navigation improvements, is warranted at this time to meet the basin's total transportation needs. The Corps of Engineers led agency in the study, with involvement by other appropriate Federal, State, regional and local agencies. Our initial study activities include a careful inventory and evaluation of available information and determination of...

A search of the pertinent literature and records on the Mud River drainage has produced information on 33 archeological sites and one National Register structure. The nature of the archeological sites and prehistoric settlement patterns and the fact that most sewer lines will be constructed along existing roads and through other disturbed areas makes it unlikely that unrecorded National Register sites will be affected by the project. A sewer line will be constructed adjacent to or over the Mud...

A search of the pertinent literature and records indicate that two potentially significant historic sites were located in the Island Creek Basin. Two archaeological sites were located adjacent to the project area in the town of Logan and one archaeological site was recorded near Omar. Given the nature and location of the project alternatives it was not expected that significant sites would be effected. A cultural resources survey was recommended once a specific project alternative was selected.
