Notes

General Note: The Cypress Ridge tract contains several potentially eligible NRHP sites. The cemetery located within the land tract has been surveyed and mapped using walk over and remote sensing. The sites discovered during this survey are suggested to be associated with several periods of pre-contact and post-contact settlements or occupations. Brockington and Associates suggested that the sites be tested further to determine significance and NRHP eligibility.
