This report summarizes a cultural resources survey of the proposed Rhine-Jacksonville transmission line planned in Dodge and Telfair Counties near Milan, Georgia. Approximately 17.9 km of 30.5 m wide transmission line right-of-way were surveyed. Eight archeological sites and ten artifact occurrences were recorded. All of the archeological sites and occurrences are prehistoric artifact scatters; none are recommended eligible for the National Register of Historic Places due to a paucity of artifacts or site disturbance, or both. No temporally diagnostic artifacts were found on half of the sites. The diagnostic sites date to throughout the Archaic period. In addition, ten standing historic structures were evaluated for visual impacts. We believe that no significant new impacts to any of the structures will result from construction of this line due to previous visual degradation from extant utility lines and other modern intrusions.
