Cultural Resources Investigation: Boscobel Flood Control Project along Sanders Creek, Grant County, Wisconsin.

Abstract

The purpose of the survey was to locate, identify and evaluate any evidence of prehistoric or historic materials, or features that might be within an area from Bluff Street to Prairie Street, along Sanders Creek in Boscobel, Wisconsin. The Corps plans channel modification and the placement of excavated material from bank regrading for flood control purposes. The investigation included surface inspection, shovel testing, soil coring, cut bank profiles, informant interviews, and archival research. No evidence of prehistoric occupation or utilization; or structural remains associated with the early industrial development of Boscobel, or modern historic period was found. Because of these findings, the proposed Boscobel flood control project will have no significant adverse effects on any cultural resources. (Author)
