SUMMARY OF CULTLiRAL RESOURCES REVIEW Bvief descrlpNon of review activities, resu!!s of revlew, nnd conclnstons: The project area is located In the extreme northeastern portlon of Macon, Immediately south of the Cowee Mountalns and Nantahala Game Land near the small Leatherman community. Matlock Creek, Included within the Little Tennessee Rlver Dralnage Basln, Is a second order stream flowing In a northeast-southwest orfentation through the APE. It Jofns Rickman Creek a short dlstance from the proJect locatlon before emptying inta Cowee Creek a few miles south. The general proJect area is typifled by a relatively narrow v-shaped stream valley surrounded by sloping and often steep Inter-mountaln terrain. The APE primarily contains frequently flooded ground surfaces; disturbances from past earth-moving, grading, and trenching activitles are evident as well. A map revlew and site flle search conducted at the Offlce of State Archaeology (OSA) on Thursday, February 20, 2014 evidenced no documented archaeological sites within the proJect APE or proximal to the study area. Historic structure locations often harbor archaeological deposits and features related to the former occupation of a property. An Inspection of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State Study Listed (SL), Locally Designated (LD), Determined Eliglble (DE), and Surveyed Slte (SS) properties employing resources avaflable on the NCSHPO website demonstrated that none of the above designated resource types are sftuated in the area. Historic maps of Macon County and the APE were appraised for former structure locatlons, land use patterns, or ather confirmation of historic occupatlon at this locale and archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as well. This cultural-historical revlew established a somewhat enduring and sustalned historic occupation of the vfcinity, but also an absence of previously documented resources and a low potentlal for recording meaningful, new archaeological si[es within the APE. Further, topographic, geologic, and NRCS soil survey maps (ReA), and hlstorical/archaeological reference materials were reviewed for the evaluation of pedeological, geomorphological, hydrologiwl and other environmental elements that may have resulted in past occupatlon of the project study area. Construdlon design data was examined for determination of the potential impacts to the ground surtaces, and aerlal photographs (NCDOT Spatial Data Viewer) and the Google Street Vfew map appllcation (when amenable) were examined/utillzed for additional assessment of Impacts present that may compromise the integrity of the APE. "No ARCNAEOLOCYSURVCYRGQU/RGD"fore� for Minor7Ymiapar(nf7on R�oJede na QimltJleAL� fhe IOO7WagmnnnnOc Agreemenf. 1 of 2 Brtef Expla��ation of why the avallable informallon provides a reliab[e basJs for reasonably predlcting that there are no untde�rt�e�l htstoric propertfes in the APE: The proJect APE contains no documenied cultural resources. The Mfddle Creek channel embraces most of the APE within the northeastern and southwestern quadrants, thereby elfminating site documentatlon potential at these locatfons. The northwestern and southeastern quadrants are spatlally restricted by sloping and/or cut hlllsides and therefore lack ground surfaces appropriate for subsurface shovel testing. Since the proposed bridge replacement is diminutive In scope and does not anticipate the alteration of any undisturbed ground areas, meaningful NRHP eligible archaeological sltes aie unlfkely to be affected by the project. No further archaeological fnput or work wlll be necessary for this state-funded NCDOT Divlslon 14 project.
