• Upon review of the original survey report (McKibbin et al. 1997) the SHPO indicated that <br />the project area and prehistoric sites have potential for designation as a National Register District <br />(James Hartmann, SHPO, personal communication: letter to Kent Gorham, Division ofMinerals and <br />Geology, March 21, 1997). Because this area can be defined geographical ly and linked to continued <br />specific land use it seemed appropriate to recommend it as a rural historic landscape. The sites <br />within this landscape should be considered and managed as a district. <br />The evaluation of individual sites within the landscape would change. The landscape itself <br />would become eligible to the National Register under criterion c since it "represent[s] a significant <br />and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction" and criterion d for the <br />information potential contained in the aggregate site assemblage. Sites within the landscape, most <br />of which are presently considered not eligible, would be re-evaluated as either contributing or non- <br />contributing properties within the landscape, and it appears probable that most sites could be <br />considered contributing. <br /> <br />• <br />
