Cultural Resources Literature Search and Records Review - Upper Mississippi River Basin. Volume 7. Pool 6.

Abstract

The objectives of the investigation were to: 1. conduct a comprehensive review of existing records and review published and unpublished literature; 2. provide an evaluation of recorded cultural resources; and 3. prepare a detailed technical and popular report. Site-specific information was compiled for both historic and prehistoric sites from state agencies in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and from various local and regional institutions. More than 1,000 historically or architecturally significant sites and districts, and more than 1,400 prehistoric archaeological components were recorded and plotted on base maps. From the site configurations and from other data collected during the course of the records and literature review, a narrative framework for the interpretation of historic and prehistoric sites was developed. Recommendations to enhance the management of the archaeological and historical data base were provided. Eleven of the 171 historic sites and structures identified within the study area limits of Pool 6 are on the National Register of Historic Places. Others have been determined eligible but have not, as yet, been placed on the Register. Single map numbers have been assigned for Winona (29) and Trempealeau (42) because of the very tightly clustered distribution of structures within the limits of these cities. The archaeological site inventory in the Pool 6 region totals sixty-one. (Author)
