recommendations to the OSM and State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). The final •
determination of site significance is made by the OSM in consultation with the SHPO and the
Keeper of the Register.
The Code of Federal Regulations was used as a guide for the in-field site evaluations.
Titles 36 CFR 50, 36 CFR 800, and 36 CFR 64 are concerned with the concepts of
significance and (possible) historic value of cultural resources. Titles 36 CFR 65 and 36 CFR
66 provide standazds for the conduct of significant and scientific data recovery activities.
Finally, Title 36 CFR 60.6 establishes the measure of significance that is critical to the
determination of a site's NRHP eligibility, which is used to assess a site's research potential:
The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, and culture
is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects of State and local
importance that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship,
feeling, and association, and a) that are associated with events that have made a
significant contribution to the broad patterns of history; or b) that are associated with
the lives of persons significant in our past; or c) that embody the distinctive
characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work
of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and
distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or d) that
have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in the prehistory or
history. •
Site Descriptions
This section provides a general description of the revisited and newly-recorded sites.
Cultural resources location data is provided in Appendix A. Detailed information for, and
photographs of, the sites is provided in Appendix B: OAHP Site and Isolated Find Forms
(these appendices are restricted from public publication).
Site SDT96 was originally recorded by Steve Baker and Pat Flanigan in 1977 and was
described as the J. Barrow Homestead, a "20`" century seasonal high altitude subsistence
and/or cow camp.° (Baker:1977). The cabin is located on the north side of the West Fork of
Tenor Creek in a meadow at 7560 feet in elevation. Baker states that the site was patented in
1938 for stock raising and wntained "a cabin, trash dump, possible pole privy, two corrals, a
lot of broken glass with some whole canning jars and liquor bottles." Upon re-visitation to
the site the cabin, the two conals, and the trash scatter were relocated and additional features
and structures were recorded. The north portion of the site (including the cabin) lies on
Forest Service land outside this project's boundary. New UTM locations (NAD 83) were
recorded and the site was thoroughly photographed.
Newly noted aspects of the site included a rusted 55-gallon drum filled with modem
trash located west of the cabin, aone-hole privy or outhouse located southeast of the cabin,
and the remains of a pole stmcture that appears to be the remnants of a canvas "cabin"
