description: Far Western Anthropological Research Group, Inc., (Far Western) completed a Class III cultural resources inventory for the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Lower Colorado Region, as part of Reclamation’s ongoing compliance efforts with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA; 54 US Code 306102).

The survey area vicinity is shown in Figure 1, and a detailed depiction of the three adjacent parcels that comprise this survey area (i.e., VR-1, -2, and -3), is in Figure 2.

Due to the remoteness of the project area and related difficulties safely accessing the southern reaches of Parcels VR-2 and VR-3, Far Western and Reclamation agreed to reduce survey coverage to those areas that could be safely and reasonably accessed (i.e.,
