M <br />Plate 1. Sample view of vegetation within project area. <br />Site Descriptions <br />Site 5MF7402.2, a segment of an unnamed historic road, passes over a saddle of the <br />Williams Fork Mountains and ranges in elevation from 6880 to 7320 feet. The road is <br />vegetated with dense grass in the saddle and valley bottoms, while the surrounding hills have <br />dense serviceberry and Gamble oak, with an understory of sagebrush, yarrow, mules ears, <br />snakeweed, manzanita, lupine, aster, globe mallow, snap dragons, mint, sego lily, wild rose, <br />wild pea, saw grass, thistle, and Indian paintbrush. The nearest source of permanent water, <br />Jeffway Gulch, lies approximately one mile to the southeast of the site. The site is underlain <br />by residual, alluvial, and aeolian clay/sandy loam soils that are grayish -brown to brown in <br />color, and are at least 2 meters in depth, as evidenced by cut banks of the road. The site is on <br />private land that is presently used for cattle grazing. <br />The section of road revisited by the current project is a smaller segment (1 mile) of <br />the previously recorded 5MF7402.1 (1.9 miles). The historic road was originally recorded by <br />Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. in May of 2011 (Jennings and Hogrefe 2011), and <br />revisited by the same organization in June of that same year (Jennings and Swanson 2011). <br />The current project revisited the southern half of the site, assigned a new segment number <br />(5MF7402.2), and determined it to be a non -supporting segment of a potentially eligible <br />(need data) resource due to the fact that the entire extent of the resource extends beyond the <br />current project boundary and has not yet been fully documented. <br />IN <br />
