An Archeological Overview and Management Plan for the H.F. Denton Radio Station Property, Denton County, Texas.
Abstract
The H. F. Denton Radio Station Property, located in east-central Denton County about four miles east of Denton, Texas, comprises approximately 50 acres overlooking the floodplain of Elm Fork Trinity River, which flows in a southerly direction about 1000 feet east of the facility. The property is currently leased from the Red River Army Ammunition Plant by the U. S. Army Communications Command Detachment (USACCD), which uses the two structures on the property for storage. The high frequency radio equipment is no longer in use. The property is within the Lewisville Lake and Dam easement and is under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District. There have been no previous cultural resource studies conducted on the facility. No previously recorded sites are present; no sites on or eligible for National Register of Historic Places are present. Environmental and regional archeological data, however, suggest that prehistoric resources may be found there. Land surfaces at the facility are of sufficient age to contain cultural remains from as early as the Paleo-Indian era, and are considered to have a high potential for retaining prehistoric cultural remains. Preliminary archival research indicates a low probability for the occurrence of historic archeological remains on the facility. It is recommended that more intensive archival and archeological field inventory be completed for the facility, for the development of any needed historic preservation plan, or any ground-disturbing project-specific compliance with NHPA.
