<br />Abstract <br />A Class II (sampling) cultural resources inventory was conducted <br />for Sheridan Enterprises, Inc., on approximately 6100 acres of lands <br />included in the MacLane and Munger Canyons Mine Plan/Permit Areas. <br />The sample was made on those lands which had less than loo slope: 875 <br />acres (14%) were surveyed. Two prehistoric sites, SGF741, a rock- <br />shelter, and 5GF742, a pictograph site, and one historic ranch complex, <br />5GF743, were recorded. All three are in good condition and may provide <br />important information on the prehistory and history of western Colorado. <br />The site, 5GF741, is considered to be potentially eligible to the <br />National Register; more data is needed for a final determination of its <br />eligibility. A rare and undisturbed find, site 5GF742, is considered <br />to be eligible to the National Register. The historic site 5GF743 is <br />on private land and a determination of eligibility should be requested <br />from the State Historic Preservation Officer. Two of the sites, <br />5GF742 and 5GF743, are near an area previously disturbed by Sheridan <br />Enterprises; both were avoided, however, and remain undisturbed. It <br />is unlikely that future development will affect either, but both <br />should be fully documented should such occur. Site 5GF741 is cur- <br />rently outside any proposed impact area; should this change, the site <br />should be test-excavated and a final determination of its eligibility <br />should be made. <br />• <br />
