Known Cultural Resources <br />In the project azea: -None in the project area. <br />In the general region: The nearest cultural resources to the project azea are SRB661, an historic ranch <br />and SRB2662, an historic road. Additionally overviews of the prehistory and history of the region <br />aze provided in the Colorado Historical Society,_.publications entitled "Colorado Prehistory A Context <br />for the Northern Colorado River Basin" (Reed and Metcalf 19991 and "Colorado Plateau Country <br />Historic Context"(Husband 19841. <br />26. Expected Results: Limited cultural resources were expected because of the barren: open terrain... <br />VI. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES <br />27.
