This report represents one of a series of seven cultural resource overviews covering the southern California deserts completed between 197U and 1981. These overviews were contracted by the Bureau of Land Management, Desert Planning Staff, to aid in the formulation of a desert-wide land use plan and to judge impacts projected from plan implementation. Wot only has this overview served a useful purpose but it has also aided, and continues to aid in the day-to-day management of cultural resources in the region. Further, it serves as a useful background document for regional research arid provides an informative publication to the interested reader of both the public and private sectors.
