Year: 2015

Summary

In phase I of this two-phase study, archaeologists from Versar Inc. performed an intensive cultural resources survey of of a 19.91-mile-long (34.04-km-long) fence line corridor along the newly formed western boundary of MAFR, between February 5 and February 19 of 2015. The second phase evaluated the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility of 10 sites identified during the survey, only three of which (LA 181597, LA 181599, and LA 181600) were recommended eligible for inclusion into the NRHP. These three eligible sites contain homestead/ranching related features, good contextual integrity, and the ability to yield significant data towards the regional history.
