New Elk Mine Bridge Repair and Replacement Project <br />arcadis.com <br />New Elk Mine Cultural Report_TB_Rev030722 NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE 16 <br />Smithsonian <br />Site Number <br />Temporal <br />Period Site Description NRHP Eligibility Recommendation <br />5LA.2202 Prehistoric Artifact scatter with feature; no <br />artifacts or features in ROW. <br />Eligible under Criterion D; previously <br />recommended that more data was needed, <br />but Arcadis argues that site is eligible due to <br />strong evidence for intact subsurface cultural <br />deposits. <br />5LA.5913 Historic Building <br />C&W Railroad Depot; in ROW. <br />Eligible under Criterion A; previously <br />recommended not eligible for not meeting <br />any eligibility criteria and loss of integrity. <br />Arcadis does not concur and recommends <br />this site eligible due to its strong association <br />with the C&W and because it retains <br />integrity. <br />5LA.7112 <br />(including <br />5LA.7112.21, <br />22, 23, and 24) <br />Historic <br />Linear Resource <br />C&W railroad grade with 35 <br />additional features (recorded <br />separately below) <br />Eligible under Criterion A; Some segments <br />and features have been previously recorded <br />and recommended eligible for NRHP listing; <br />however, as no forms are on file within <br />Compass for this resource, further <br />information on the evaluation of this <br />resource is unavailable. Arcadis <br />recommends that the former C&W railroad <br />grade between Allen Mine and Madrid is <br />eligible for NRHP listing under Criterion A in <br />the areas of Transportation, Commerce, and <br />Industry, and with a period of significance <br />between 1900 and 1970. Arcadis also <br />recommends that while many of the extant <br />features of the linear resource (i.e., bridges) <br />can be considered contributing features of <br />the C&W Railroad, others are not. These <br />include features that were constructed <br />outside of the resource’s period of <br />significance, as well as minor-built features <br />such as culverts and small bridges that lack <br />diagnostic elements. These features are <br />summarized below.
