In 1998, Brockington and Associates, Inc., and the Georgia Department of Transportation conducted a archaeological survey of a 16 km (10 mile) long corridor along US 441 /SR 15 extending north from the Tallulah River to the city of Clayton, Georgia. Recent design changes have necessitated a supplemental historic and/or architectural resources survey at selected points along this highway. Specifically, six street intersections are slated for widening and one side street entrance will be completely modified. This survey was intended to identify and evaluate the potential impacts of such a project on historical and architectural resources in the project area. Fieldwork consisted of a combination of methods involving intensive archaeological survey, surface inspection, and visual reconnaissance of all the intersections slated for reconstruction. No historic or architectural resources were identified in any of the survey areas. Historic resource clearance for the proposed road improvements is recommended.
