This report presents the results of an archeological survey conducted on federal lands near Huerfano, New Mexico, by the Office of Contract Archeology, University of New Mexico. The survey, undertaken at the request of the Salt River Project, is a supplement to a cultural overview and 10% sample survey performed in the area the previous fall (Allen 1981). The purpose of the present project was to locate and document any cultural resources found on 48 drill pad locations and along any access routes. In addition, interviews were held with local residents to obtain permission to survey and to construct the drill holes and access roads, and to obtain data on site uses. The result of the survey was the recording of nine sites (one of which was recorded previously), thirteen localities, ten isolated occurrences, and one current cultural manifestation. Archeological clearance is recommended, since any potential drill locations and roads that might impinge upon cultural resources were relocated away from the resources during the survey.
