FIGURE 1 <br />Valco T-Pit Cultural Resources Survey. Results of Class III Survey: <br />Trinidad:East U.S.G.S. Topographic Map (1971), <br />6PM, Township 32S,-Range 63W, SWl/4, Section 35 <br />Las Animas County, Colorado <br />July 17, 2004 <br />Additionally, the remains of an historic road system (04.V'I'P.03) aze in evidence within <br />both the valley bottom of the N/S trending unnamed drainage of the Purgatoire River, and along <br />selected locations along the west and east sides of the drainage (Figure 1). The roads extend <br />beyond the present property boundaries in both general N/S and E/W directions. In terms of the <br />historic road system, there aze no previously recorded historic roads recorded within Section 35 <br />and the surrounding sections v~!ithin T.32S, R.63W, or T.33S, R.63W. An examination of the <br />Trinidad East topographic map revealed an E/W oriented road that served as the Trinidad to <br />Trinchera Road to the south of the project azea. It is possible that the road system within the <br />project azea may have represented ancillary wagon roads that connected to the main N/S wagon <br />road oriented north to the Santa Fe Trail and south to the Trinidad-Trinchera road. <br />All of the site locales were minimally recorded both due to the time spent on the Class III <br />survey and weather conditions. The site locales were plotted on the Section 35 of the Trinidad <br />East U.S.G.S. topographic map, photographed and brief notes taken. <br />-4- <br />
