INV'ENTORY' OF RESOURCES <br />• <br />Six cultural resources were located within the study area but only <br />five were forma]ly inventoried (Figure 2). The sixth resource was a <br />very recent mobile home and frame garage located on property owned by <br />Colorado Westmoreland and generally known as the Kendall place (Figure 2)• <br />Due to its recent age it was not inventoried as an historic and/or <br />archaeological resource. The five resources which were inventoried <br />were all historic EuroPmerican sites and are summarized below. Detailed <br />descriptions of each resource may be found in the site forms appended <br />to this report. <br />5 DT 654--Old Steven's Gulch Road Trace <br />Portions of the original Steven's Gulch Road remain along the <br />west edge of the study tract near the bottom of Steven's Gulch. The <br />resource was recorded as a linear site. It is characterized by a <br />depressed road trace with miscellaneous associated features and/or trash <br />dumps, campsites, and old telephone poles (Figure 5). Approximately <br />660 meters of the road were included in the inventory. The road <br />trace is an important element in local history and may be eligible <br />for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. <br />5 DT 655--I•lestmoreland's lJall <br />. This massive rock wall (Figure 6) is actually a rock fence built <br />to demark a property line. Volcanic rubble rock was cleared from the <br />adjacent fields and used to build this very massive fence. The fence <br />is 3 to 6 feet high and 8 feet wide and extends for about 1,000 feet. <br />The site is an excellent example of a stone field clearing fence and <br />may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic <br />Places. <br />5 DT 656--Anonyr~~ous Cabin <br />The historical archaeologica] site consists of a rubble stone <br />foundation for a frame house. The foundation is ]5 feet by 28 feet. <br />After the feature was found and recorded, oral history sources indicated <br />it had been built in the 1960's and razed by about 1975. This occupation <br />range was confirmed by the material culture noted on the site. Due <br />to its recent age the site was considered to be insignificant and therefore <br />not eligible to the I~ational Register. <br />• <br />10 <br />
