Yakima River Basin Historical Resource Survey: Volume 1. Overview and Management Recommendations

摘要

Published literature, archival and documentary sources were examined to provide planning information for the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project in central Washington. The overview summarized the basin's history and defines the major historical themes for evaluating the significance of sites dating from approximately A.D. 1800. Seven potential reservoirs and proposed irrigation developments on the Yakima Indian Reservation are then examined in detail to provide a preliminary assessment of impacts to historical sites. The report concludes with a series of recommendations regarding the significance of individual sites and suggested future study needs.
