56 <br /> 3.3 Historic Resources <br /> While inventories of the prehistoric resources at the Dowe Flats <br /> area are numerous, historic inventories are more limited. <br /> Previous Dowe Flats historic surveys found ten historic resources <br /> located within the Study Area (see Figure U . There are no <br /> historic resources within the mine impact zone. Of the <br /> resources of sufficient age (50 years old or older) to be <br /> considered as possibly significant historic resources, there were <br /> four irrigation ditches, an equipment shed, a thresher or corn <br /> sheller and associated jumble of used fencing, stone structures, <br /> a stone fence, a foundation and artifacts and a foundation and <br /> corrals. Two additional resources were less than 40 years old <br /> and were not of exceptional significance. (See Table 5) . <br /> Current recommendations of not eligible for five buildings <br /> connected with a former farmstead is underway. Those <br /> recommendations will be sent to SHPO for official determinations <br /> and to HPAB for review. <br /> The shed and thresher, stone fence, and foundations and corrals <br /> were recorded and determined as not eligible for inclusion in the <br /> National Register of Historic Places. <br /> The four ditches, the stone structures and the foundation and <br /> artifacts were determined as eligible for nomination to the NRHP. <br /> Outside the Study Area are additional historic resources. Two <br /> previously determined eligible buildings, the Montgomery School <br /> and the Gerstenkorn Homestead (Centennial Farm) are located on <br /> nearby Colorado Highway 66. <br />
