164 <br />• site: ~ 5RT25 (Figs 2, 40). <br />Site Type: Open architectural. <br />Location: NW';NW!;, Sec. 9, TSn, R87w; UTM Zone 13, E317,810m., N4,475,200m. <br />Description: 5RT25 is an historic architectural site located at the base <br />of a gently sloping, north-trending ridge, on the west-facing side. The <br />site is adjacent to a seasonal drainage that flows into the present Nofstger- <br />Ziegler Reservoir, but the original course of the drainage leads to Scotch- <br />mans Gulch. The elevation is 6750 ft. (2,057 m.). Vegetation on the site <br />includes sagebrush, cottonwood, Gamble's oak, and grasses. Nine structural <br />features are visible, covering an area 60 by 90 m. <br />The structures include a dwelling, outbuildings, a sheep corral, and <br />a stock tank. Cultural debris consists of a stove, wire, sheet metal roof- <br />ing, tin cans>and other assorted trash. The structures are deteriorating, <br />and some recent use as a sheep loading station is apparent, as it was in use <br />at the time the site was recorded. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: None. <br />svaluation: Evaluation of the historic significance of 5RT25 should be <br />made by a trained Colorado historian with proper archival evidence at <br />hand. At present, we are not recommending it for nomination to the NRHP. <br /> <br />
