Cultural Resources Literature Search and Records Review of Grafton, North Dakota. Flood Control Project.

Abstract

The literature search and records review identified no previous archaeological investigations and no known archaeological sites in the Grafton area. It identified nine historic sites, only one of which has been field checked by a cultural resource professional. This site-Williamson House in the city of Grafton--has been declared eligible for the National Register by the North Dakota State Historic Preservation Office. None of the other sites has been subject to a National Register Survey. Of the sites identified in this study, only the rural school in Section 11, T157N R53W seems likely to be impacted by the flood control alternatives under consideration by the Corps of Engineers. The study concludes that the cultural resources of the Grafton area are largely unknown, and recommends that the ground to be disturbed by flood control construction be field surveyed to determine whether prehistoric or historic cultural resources which require protection may exist there.
