At least
two sites eligible for inclusion or already listed in the
National Register of Historic Places would be
impacted.
The flood
control lake would flood land mostly in the river bottomland. This
type land is constantly being moved around by the energy in the
floodwaters, and by the redeposition of sand. The reader can
understand what kind of land this is by observing the tree deadened
land on both sides of the I-20 bridge. Most archeological and
historical places follow land where humans live. For example: The
new levee system will generally follow the inner edge of the
flatwood terrace. This is a very good place to look for Indian
artifacts because they lived on the edge of the terraces, not in the
riverbottom land. |
