description: This document constitutes a Class I cultural resources survey of lands situated adjacent to the Overton Arm of Lake Mead and the Muddy and Virgin Rivers in Clark County, Nevada. Reclamation Instructions 376.11 require that Reclamation maintain a record of cultural resources on lands that it owns, acquires, or withdraws from public use. A Class I cultural resources survey, which is primarily a literature and records search, is the first step in this process. A Class I cultural resources survey consists of consulting with the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and other appropriate individuals, agencies, and institutions to determine the nature and extent of the cultural resources that have been recorded in an area and the kinds of additional information that may be needed for an adequate inventory of cultural resources. This volume provides and/or discusses the following in the project area: the environment, water resources, biotic communities, and geological and physiological provinces; the history of archaeological research; an overview of the prehistory, protohistory, and ethnography of the region along with/a presentation of the known prehistoric and protohistoric cultural resources; historical-period cultural resources within the framework of the history of the region; a series of historic contexts for prehistoric, protohistoric, and historical-period cultural resources; a predictive model for determining the likelihood of finding additional significant cultural resources on Reclamation lands; and management recommendations for the identification and preservation of cultural resources whole and specific recommendations for Reclamation lands.
