Heart Mountain Relocation Center
Central (Fenced) Area
Warehouse Area
In the warehouse area there are four 40 by 100 foot
slabs, two connected with a 9-foot-ramp (Figure 6.23; Welch et al.
1988). One of the slabs has a mobile home on it. A dilapidated root
cellar northeast of the warehouse area is still present (Figures 6.24
and 6.25). Construction of the root cellar, however, may pre-date the
relocation center (John Collins, local resident, personal communication,
1994).
