SITES <br />5MF9889 (TM-01) <br />This newly recorded historic inscription site lies on the northern side of the Williams <br />Fork Mountains and on the western side of north -trending Johnson Gulch, east of the Yampa <br />River. Specifically, it is situated on the southern side of a west -trending finger ridge and on the <br />northern side of the head of a north/northwest-trending intermittent drainage. Measuring about <br />10-x-8-m, the site is on state-owned land. It consists of historic inscriptions on a prominent <br />isolated globular sandstone hoodoo supported by a narrow base that measures 80 cm in diameter. <br />The hoodoo expands to over 4 in in diameter near its middle and is roughly 4 m high (Figure 4). <br />Gravelly coarse sand with no vegetation surrounds the base of the feature. An unmodified <br />sandstone boulder lies to its immediate north. Vegetation is a sagebrush shrubland, with sage, <br />rabbitbrush, snakeweed, prickly pear, grasses, and forbs. Sediment is brown sand measuring an <br />estimated 50 cm deep as shown by rodent holes; it is a mix of residuum and aeolian deposits. <br />Gravels and cobbles are exposed in eroded areas. The virtual datum is the sandstone hoodoo. <br />Visibility on and around the site was very good at roughly 80 percent. <br />Figure 4.
