<br />1469 <br /> <br />complexes, resorts and sections of Independence Pass Toll Road (parts of which are eligible to <br />the NRHP). Two sites, the Twin Lakes Historic District (5LK4l) and the InterIaken Resort <br />(5LKI53), were listed on the NRHP in 1974. One other site, a historic log cabin (5LK67 I), has <br />officially been determined eligible to the NRHP as contributing to a National Register District. <br /> <br />Sixty-five of the 133 sites were adequately recorded; 70 have been only minimally recorded, and <br />one site lacks records altogether. <br /> <br />A total of 24 sites, 13 of the recorded and 11 of the minimally recorded sites, were tested to <br />determine whether significant buried cultural remains existed. None appear to have yielded <br />significant results. <br /> <br />Unrecorded Irrigation Ditches: It is not known whether unrecorded irrigation ditches exist in the <br />Twin Lakes study area. Information about ditches was unavailable as the Leadville area office <br />of the Water Resources Division was closed for the season at the time research was conductcd. <br /> <br />Pueblo Reservoir <br /> <br />Cultural Resource Inventory Projects: Four project areas are located within the Pueblo Reservoir <br />study area. The principal project in the area was the Pueblo Reservoir inventory. The project was <br />conducted in the middle 1960s using methods appropriate at the time. The OHAP file search lists <br />four square miles depicted on the Hobson and Buelah NE quadrangles, though survey is known <br />to have occurred in numerous sections depicted on five 7.5 minute quadrangles. Though the <br />Bureau of Reclamation map suggests a 100% inventory was conducted, Dr. Withers, who <br />conducted this inventory, stated the Asize of the reservoir and the difficulty of access to some <br />parts of it made it impossible [to do] a thorough survey in the month we had available.@ He <br />further stated that, Asome sections of the reservoir were thoroughly surveyed and will require <br />no further work; others will require further work; and some portions were not surveyed at all. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, the specific location of areas thoroughly inventoried, partially inventoried, or not <br />inventoried is unknown. Most sites recorded during this project were minimally recorded. More <br />data are required to assess sites according to present day standards. Other projects include <br />highway rights-of-way and a gravel source, during which a single isolated find was recorded. <br /> <br />Officially Recorded Sites: Eighty-nine officially recorded sites exist within the Pueblo Reservoir <br />study area. These appear to consist entirely of prehistoric sites; thcre is no information on file <br />of any historic sites having been recorded in the study area. The prehistoric locales include seven <br />camp sites with hearths or hearth-like features, thirty-two camp sites without hearths but with <br />ground stone implements suggesting camping activities, twenty-four lithic scatters. five possible <br />lithic scatters, one site which may either be a lithic scatter or an isolated find, two lithic and <br />ceramic scatters, five isolated finds, one feature consisting of a single hearth, and one possible <br />bison kill site. It was not possible to determine the nature of eleven sites. All recorded sites in <br />the study area were minimally recorded at best; in most cases, they have been less than minimally <br />recorded and site forms on file are little more than blank pages. <br /> <br /><U)) <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Cultural Issues <br /> <br />.- - <br />
