A Cultural Resources Survey of a Proposed Powerline Corridor on Greenback Creek Southeast of Punkin Center, Gila County, Arizona

Author(s): Lyle M. Stone

Year: 1986

Summary

On June 4, 1986, Lyle M. Stone of Archaeological Research Services, Inc. (ARS) performed a cultural resources survey of a proposed 12 kV powerline corridor located on Greenback Creek near its confluence with Tonto Creek app­roximately 6.5 miles southeast of Punkin Center, Gila County, Arizona. Although the powerline will be located on both U.S. Forest Service (Tonto National Forest) and private lands, only the 2.2 mile long segment across U. S. Forest Service lands was surveyed for the presence of cultural resources. The 2.2 mile long line segment will be constructed within a 7.0 ft wide corridor and will extend to the northeast from an existing line near the intersection of Greenback Creek and Forest Route 60, to a boundary between U.S. Forest Service and pri­vate land. In addition to the powerline corridor, appro­ximately 5060 ft of 20 ft wide new construction access road across Forest land was also surveyed. It is understood that other access routes will be within the Greenback Creek channel and immediate flood-plain between pole locations.
