    DOCUMENT Full-Text David Eckles. Timothy R. Nowak.

    The EKW #1 site (48NA969) was located during a class III survey of the Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park in 1984 (Eckles 1984).

    DOCUMENT Full-Text Patrick O. Mullen.

    The history of mountaineering, rock climbing, and ski mountaineering in the Teton mountain range of northwestern Wyoming has been essential to the development of those sports in North America as well as the cultural and economic development of northwestern Wyoming. As such, the routes essential to the development of Teton climbing can and should be recorded as linear historic sites eligible for the National Register of Historic Places similar to the historic Tower Ladder (48CK1641) (McKoy 2000)...

  • "My Name Was Made High:" A Crow War Record at 48HO9 (2010)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text James D. Keyser.

In fact, in their excellent overview of the region, Francis and Loendorf (2002:179-183) note only two sites in the Bighorn Basin proper—Military Creek and Mahogany Buttes—that contain horses and riders, and both of those are in the Bighorn Mountain foothills on the basin’s extreme eastern edge.1 They also note (Francis and Loendorf 2002:181) that “illustrations of Historic period weaponry are less...

The site is in extreme southeastern Wyoming, near the Nebraska border. Artifacts and bone were first identified eroding from an apparent natural (erosional) cut in the third alluvial terrace above the river. This included flakes and a possible large...
