Historic Resources Survey Spring Creek 115 kV Substation, Miller County, Georgia

The Spring Creek Historic Resources Survey documents historic resources within the project boundaries identified on the Project Boundary and Map of Resources Surveyed. The general vicinity study area is located on both sides of Highway 45, a short distance southwest of the town of Colquitt in Miller County, Georgia.     The goal of this project is to complete a Historic Resources Survey within the project boundaries in order to determine whether any historic resources present are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Resources that appear to be more than 50 years old have been identified on the map and photographed. The consultant has made a preliminary determination as to whether or not the existing historic resources are potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. This report will be used as a planning tool by Georgia Transmission Corporation to select a Substation site with the least adverse effect on historic resources.      This report contains a Project Location Map, which identifies the general location of the study area, and a Project Boundary and Map of Resources Surveyed, which identifies the project boundaries on a USGS Quadrangle map. Numbers on this second map are keyed to survey forms on each resource. This is followed by seven Spring Creek Historic Resources Survey forms. Each form contains a photograph of the resource, a description of its site, the approximate date of construction, an architectural description, and an assessment of its National Register eligibility.     A windshield survey identifying all architectural resources 50 years old or older within the project boundaries was conducted by principal investigator Maurie Van Buren. Visual inspection determined the approximate age of the resources. It should be noted that the consultant was able to view the houses and their dependencies only from the public right-of-way and did not have access to interiors. Color photographs were taken of each resource that appeared to be 50 years old or older, and those photographs were keyed to the Project Boundary and Map of Resources Surveyed. The National Register eligibility of each resource was then evaluated based on the level of architectural integrity and visually evident significance. (See Historic Resources Survey forms.)
