This report is a compilation of various cultural resources surveys and sites that have been recorded in 1992. These surveys have been conducted for timber sales, a road widening, wildlife openings, and a volunteer project on the Chattooga Ranger District, Chattahoochee National Forest. The sites range from late Paleo-Indian campsites to historic period farmsteads and stills. A total of 31 previously unrecorded sites are reported here. This cultural resources survey report covers approximately 1,214 acres of National Forest Land that has been inventoried for cultural resources. Most of these house sites have been razed but some still have some structural remains such as chimneys, foundations, and logs, and these are the ones we are trying to protect and preserve for further study. Seventeen of the sites are considered to be significant or potentially so, and are to be preserved in place and protected from disturbance until they can be investigated under 36 CFR 60 criteria for the National Register of Historic Places.
