Project Description:
The project calls for the replacement of Bridge No. 52 on SR 1433 (Person Road) over Sandy Creek in
Franklin County. The archaeological Area ofPotential Effects (APE) for the project is defined as a
1,400 foot (426.72 m) long corridor running 700 feet (213.36 m) northeast and 700 feet southwest along
Person Road from the center of Bridge No. 52. The corridor is approximately 200 feet (60.96 m) wide
extending 100 feet (30.48 m) on either side of the road from its present center.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
Bridge No. 52 is located northeast of Louisburg, west of Centerville, and east of Ingleside in the northern
portion of Franklin County, North Carolina. The project area is plotted near the center of the Gold Sand
USGS 7.5'topographic quadrangle (Figure 1).
A map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on February
19, 2015. No previously recorded archaeological sites have been identiiied within the APE or a mile of
the bridge. Accarding to the North Carolina State Histaric Preservation Office online data base
(HPOWEB 2015), the northeast quadrant is situated within the National Register boundary for the Speed
Farm (FK 285). However, no surveyed or contributing resource falls within the APE. Topographic
maps, USDA soil survey maps, aerial photographs (NC One Map), and historic maps (North Carolina
maps website) were examined for information on environmental and cultural variables that may have
contributed to prehistoric or historic settlement within the project limits and to assess the level of ground
disturbance.
Bridge No. 52 and Person Road cross Sandy Creek from the northeast to southwest (Figure 2). The creek
drains to the southeast and is part of the Tar-Pamlico drainage basin. The APE is situated along the
Sandy Creek floodplain with eroded terraces and slopes at either end. The area is mostly forested with
minimal ground disturbance.
A review of the site iiles show that OSA (ER OS-0886) previously reviewed the proposed replacement of
Bridge 52 in 2005 (Attachment 1). They recommended no further archaeological work as the area has a
low probability for a significant site. Few archaeological investigations and not sites are reported within
the vicinity.

A historic map review was also conducted in order to confirm that no contributing resources to the Speed
Farm fell within the APE. The earliest map to depict the project area in any detail is William Fuller and
Blair Burwell's circa 1869 map of Franklin County (Figure 3). This map shows a road similar to Person
Road with a crossing at or near the current bridge. No households or farm structures are plotted in the
area. By the early 20th century, the 1906 North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey map
illustrates an improved picture of the county (Figure 4). This map identifies the bridge as Sam Persons
Bridge. It also shows all historic structure well away from the bridge. Subsequent 20th century maps
provide no further or useful information on development. As a result, it is very unlikely any contributing
archaeological resources to the Speed Farm will be impacted.
Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
The defined archaeological APE for the proposed replacement of Bridge No. 52 was previously reviewed
by OSA in 2005. They recommended no further archaeological work due to low probability for a
significant site. Although the National Register boundary for the Speed Farm resides in the northeastern
quadrant, no contributing archaeological resources could be identified during the background review. As
long as impacts to the subsurface occur within the defined APE, the results of the background review
concur with OSA's original recommendation. No further archaeological work is recommended for the
replacement of Bridge No. 52 in Franklin County. If construction should affect subsurface areas beyond
the defined APE, further archaeological consultation might be necessary.
