An Archaeological Survey of a Portion of the Proposed Granite Reef Aqueduct, Central Arizona

In March, 1968, Prescott College, under contract with the Archeological Salvage Program, a division of the National Park Service, conducted a reconnaissance of 148 miles of the feasibility alignment of the proposed Granite Reef Aqueduct in west-central Arizona, stretching from Parker Dam on the Colorado River to the Agua Fria River, north of Phoenix. The reconnaissance was undertaken in support of the development of an Environmental Impact Statement for the Granite Reef Aqueduct to identify any cultural resources that may be affected by the proposed action. Primary investigation was made by helicopter, supported by ground survey at key points. No prehistoric or historic sites were identified.
