The survey located six sites that have only prehistoric components, two sites with both historic and prehistoric components. Two prehistoric sites (16WE108 and 16WE129) have a likelihood of yielding information important to prehistory. One historic site (16WE198) is also likely to yield information important to history. In addition two cemeteries and an oil well were also investigated. Both of which may be eligible to the National Register of Historic Places. Keywords: Archeology; Army facilities.
