Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings

Many of the sites and buildings associated with the era of the prospector, cowhand, and sodbuster are described in the following pages. They are arranged alphabetically by State within the following four categories: pertinent units of the National Park System; sites eligible for the Registry of National Historic Landmarks; Historic Districts eligible for the Registry; and sites of sufficient importance to merit attention but which are not considered nationally significant when measured by the special Landmark criteria (pp. 269-270). A number of general agricultural sites that have some association with Western agriculture, as well as irrigation and reclamation sites, will be included in the volume of this series dealing with the development of U.S. agriculture.

For the convenience of users of this volume, on the next page the sites and buildings are listed alphabetically by State. The following code indicates site categories:

Site Categories

	National Park System unit
	National Historic Landmark
	Other Sites Considered

NOTE: The following descriptions indicate sites that are open to the public. Before visiting any of them, inquiry should be made to the owners or custodians concerning dates and hours of access and admission costs, usually nominal. Special permission should be obtained to visit privately owned sites. Web Edition Note: Since the publication of this document (1967) the status of some of these properties may have changed during the ensuing years. Where available, links are provided from each site to current Web pages that contain up-to-date information on these sites, including visitation information. While most of the sites are open to the public, some sites remain closed to visitation.
