Following a Class I literature search, which provided background information on the cultural resources of the entire river, Class II field inventory work for the portion of the Beaver Creek National Wild River managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was conducted. A single cultural site was found which consisted of a hearth/tent ring with no associated artifacts. In addition, information was obtained from a local resident about a mastodon or mammoth site along the river where bones had eroded out of a bluff. No paleontological material was available for examination and no cultural material had been reported in association.
