A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of a Proposed Fiber Optic System for Tolicha Peak, Nellis Air Force Range, Nye County, Nevada

Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Harold Drollinger

Year: 1995

Summary

The U.S. Air Force proposes to construct a fiber optic system for the Tolicha Peak area on the Nellis Air Force Range, Nye County, Nevada. The project involves new facilities and buried fiber optic lines between these and existing facilities (Figures 1 a-1 c) . The proposed routes of the lines and areas for the new facilities have been inspected for cultural resources by Desert Research Institute (DRI). The investigation recorded 25 archaeological sites and 14 isolated artifacts. Nine of the sites are recommended to be considered eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The routes of the fiber lines and facility locations would be changed to avoid each of these sites, or placed in already disturbed areas within the sites. In this manner potential adverse effects from construction activities to these historic properties would be avoided.
