III inventory was conducted on approximately 350 acres within the permit area

remains. (Conner, 1977) No evidence of historic occupation was uncovered in
the survey. The inventory report is contained in Appendices 5-1 and 5-2.
The complete unedited Wignall report, including copies of all plates and a copy
