Proiect Description:
Upgrade and Widen NC 125/SR 1142 (Prison Camp Road) from NC 903 to SR 1182 (East
College Road) to an improved two-lane/three-lane roadway with 12 foot lanes and 2 foot
shoulders. It is proposed to keep the existing ditch line wherever possible. There are several
curves on the southwestern end of the project that may require flattening. Project length is 16.1
miles. Proposed right-of-way is 60-80 feet. Permanent and Temporary easements will be
required.
SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHICTECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW
Description of review activities, results, and conclusions:
Review of HPO quad maps, HPOweb GIS mapping, historic designations roster, and indexes
was conducted on 2/9/15. Based on this review, there are no existing NR, DE, or LD properties
in the Area of Potential Effects (APE). However, there are ten surveyed sites (SS), and two
study -listed (SL) properties within the APE, including several houses, farmsteads, a church, a
y former school house, and some stores. Additionally, there may be other properties over the age
of fifty years old that fall into the APE in need of documentation. The most recent architectural
survey of Martin County was conducted in 1992-93. A survey was required to assess potential
historic sites within the APE for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as
well as for potential effects from project construction activities. Furthermore, according to aerial
GIS imagery, some of the surveyed sites appear to have been demolished and a survey will help
to confirm whether they are extant or perhaps if the location on the NC HPOweb mapping is
incorrect.
A field reconnaissance survey was conducted on March 23, 2015 during which several surveyed
sites and previously unrecorded properties were documented and photographed. It was
determined that further study was needed for multiple properties in order to determine NRHP-
eligibility.
NCDOT contracted with Dovetail Cultural Resources Group to conduct an intensive level

historic architectural NRHP-eligibility evaluation for twelve resources within the project APE.
The report concluded that three of the twelve resources were eligible for the NRHP, the Bowen
Farm (MT0626), the Wynn Home Place (MT0383) and the Cross Roads Christian Church
(MT0375). After further evaluation and consultation with the NC Historic Preservation Office
(HPO), an additional fourth resource was also determined NRHP-eligible, the John Brown
House/Jackie Brown Spring House (MT0032). For further information on the properties listed
above please see the NRHP-Eligibility Evaluation report located in the project file.
NCDOT project engineers proposed design plans that widen and improve Prison Camp Road
without acquiring any additional new right-of-way at each of the four NRHP-Eligible properties.
Only easements will be used to conduct work within the historic property boundaries of the
historic resources.
Moving from east to west, the first historic property within the APE is the Bowen Farm
(MT0626). Two contributing outbuildings that help make up the complex sit fairly close to the
roadway as seen in the photo below. Several trees also sit close, a few of which may be affected
or removed, however, NCDOT seeks to protect the trees with orange construction fencing. The
main house of the Bowen Farm complex shown in the first photo on page 3 sits farther back from
the roadway and will not be affected by project activities. Curb and gutter is planned at the
intersection with Henry Mizelle Road down to the intersection with Allen Williams Road due to
the heavy amount of large vehicles and semi -trucks traveling this road with trailer attachments.
The curb and gutter will minimize the impacts to contributing outbuildings that are part of the
Bowen Farm. NCDOT does not anticipate a permanent drainage easement for this property.
NCDOT will plan to widen away from the Bowen Farm to the east in order to avoid and
minimize impacts to the property, resulting in a "No Adverse Effect."

The John Brown/Jackie Brown Spring House is located just southwest of the Bowen Farm on the
opposite side of Prison Camp Road. It shares a tax parcel with the Bowen Farm as well.

Camp Road, Martin County, NC.
The Wynn Home Place (MT0384) is the next property that falls within the project APE. Its
historic property boundary also follows its tax parcel and follows the existing right-of-way. One
contributing grouping of outbuildings, the Packhouse, Machine Shed, and Corn Barn, sits fairly
close to the roadway. The fencing (shown in the photo below) may be affected. The most
concerning impact associated with this historic property is the possible removal of the utility
pole

Cross Roads Christian Church (MT0375) is located far enough outside of construction activities
that it will not be affected by the project. Its historic property boundary does not follow the tax
parcel; they encircle the building itself and are set back (west) off of Wynn Road.
