Historic Resources Study: Lost Man and Little Lost Man Watersheds
Van Kirk S. 1999. Historic Resources Study: Lost Man and Little Lost Man Watersheds. Bayside, CA
Taken from the introduction: "In preparation for watershed rehabilitation projects in the Lost Man and Little Lost Man watersheds, an inventory of cultural resources was required to comply with Section 105 of the National Historic Preservation Act. As part of the inventory, an investigation of historic resources was conducted. Specifically, efforts were made to document historic land ownerships and activities...Having some sense of a land's history seems important. It provides a context for understanding present conditions and a vision for the future. These watersheds were not subject to EuroAmerican settlement as were other portions of the Park and cannot, therefore, be considered cultural landscapes. However, human activity, particularly an activity so strongly associated with the economic and social life of Humboldt County as logging, must be considered a major cultural influence in these watersheds. Proposed projects are the direct result of that activity, as the Park undertakes measures to lessen its impacts"
