Archeological survey and site testing were conducted at the Melvern, Milford, and Pomona Lake Projects located in the Prairie-Plains of eastern Kansas. Melvern and Pomona Lakes are on the Marais des Cygnes River, a subbasin of the Osage River Drainage. Milford is in the Republican River Valley. At Pomona Lake, an investigation was conducted in areas normally underwater which were exposed during a drawdown period to determine the effects of inundation on known sites. Sites identified at all projects were evaluated for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places.
