This inventory report covers surveys conducted and sites recorded from 1984 through 1992. The surveys were done prior to formal decisions being made on proposed timber sales, construction of roads, ATV trails, a rifle range, a parking lot, and wildlife openings on the Cohutta Ranger District, Chattahoochee National Forest. The report covers 3,938 acres which were field surveyed for cultural heritage resources in portions of 3D compartments. Compartments and acres surveyed in each are shown in Table 1, below. A total of 34 previously unrecorded sites are reported. The sites range from prehistoric Archaic campsites to historic period farmsteads and mines. Sixteen sites are potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and will be protected from disturbance. They will be evaluated later for eligibility for the National Register. Thus, there will be No Effect on these potentially eligible cultural resources.
