A Cultural Resource Inventory of the Left Bank of Lake Oahe: Burleigh and Emmons Counties, North Dakota. Volume 1

Abstract

An intensive cultural resource inventory was conducted on approximately 8200 acres of federal land adjacent to Lake Oahe in Emmons and Burleigh counties, North Dakota. Seventy-two sites and 23 isolated finds were recorded. Seven sites are believed eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Further work is necessary to determine eligibility at 29 sites. Preliminary site patterning studies indicate that the modeling of site location is possible with a high degree of accuracy. It is believed that such modeling would be of use for long-term and short-term management and research concerns.
