Georgia Department of Transportation Project PFH-40(1) in Habersham County proposes to widen, reconstruct, and pave CR 240/1-ow Gap Road from CR 245/New Liberty Road to the Rabun County Line. The approximate northern two-thirds of the proposed project area is in the USFS Chattahoochee National Forest, while the southern third is on private land. Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) staff archaeologists conducted an archaeological survey of the proposed project's area of potential effect. The survey was conducted in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended. The goal of the survey was to locate, identify, and record archaeological resources within the project's area of potential effect, and to evaluate the archaeological resources in terms of their eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
