A Class III Section 110 Cultural Resources Survey of Reclamation Withdrawn Lands Along the Verde River, Coconino and Prescott National Forests, Arizona

Summary

At the request of the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) Phoenix Area Office (PXAO), Logan Simpson performed an intensive Class III cultural resources survey of approximately 474 acres of Reclamation withdrawn lands managed by the Coconino National Forest (CNF) and 130 acres of Reclamation withdrawn lands managed by the Prescott National Forest (PNF). The Class III inventory was conducted in compliance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). There is no undertaking associated with this survey.

Reclamation originally requested survey of five blocks totaling 1,062 acres. Of the five blocks, three (Blocks 2 through 4) are located on the CNF east of the Verde River and two (Blocks 1 and 5) are located on the Prescott National Forest (PNF) west of the Verde River. The survey areas known as “CNF Block 2” and “CNF Block 3” are irregularly shaped. CNF Block 2 measures approximately 1.24 km (0.77 mi) north-south by 1.39 km (0.86 mi) east-west and encompasses 259.38 acres of Reclamation withdrawn lands while CNF Block 3 measures approximately 1.98 km (1.23 mi) north-south by 2.09 km (1.30 mi) east-west and encompasses 370.53 acres of Reclamation withdrawn lands. The survey area known as “PNF Block 1” is irregularly shaped and measures approximately 937 m (.58 mi) north-south by 692 m (.43 mi) east-west.

The project resulted in two reports, one for the CNF and one for the PNF. On the CNF 25 archaeological sites were recorded (21 new sites and four previously identified sites). Seventeen of these sites were recommended eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), one was recommended not eligible, and seven were unevaluated. On the PNF, 22 new archaeological sites were recorded. Eighteen were recommended eligible for inclusion on the NRHP, two were recommended not eligible and two were unevaluated.
