In 1950, Paleontologist Theodore E. White, assisted during 

 most of the season by Prentiss Shepherd and William Harrup, in- 

 vestigated the paleontological situation in Bonny Reservoir, Colorado ; 

 Angostura, Fort Randall, and Oahe Reservoirs, South Dakota ; Garri- 

 son Reservoir, North Dakota; Canyon Ferry Reservoir, Montana; 

 and Boysen and Anchor Reservoirs, Wyoming. He also made a trip

 logical resources of suggested reservoir sites in the Niobrara Basin, 

 Nebraska. In 1951, accompanied by William Harrup and William 

 Easton, he revisited Canyon Ferry, Garrison, Oahe, and Fort Ran-

COLORADO 



Narrows Reservoir site. — Archeological investigations in Colorado 

 by the River Basin Surveys were restricted to a reconnaissance of 

 about two weeks in November 1950 of the area to be affected by the 

 proposed Narrows Reservoir, in Morgan County. The dam site is 

 on the South Platte River 7 miles west of Fort Morgan, and the 

 reservoir will extend about 12 miles above this point. In this area 

 the river flows in a broad, shallow valley flanked by a gently rolling 

 plain covered by sagebrush and sparse short grasses. Only four sites, 

 three of which are above the maximum pool level, were found in the 

 course of an exhaustive search. Since all of them appear to be repre- 

 sented by superficial, scanty deposits, it appears that the reservoir 

 will have no adverse effect on archeological resources of any conse- 

 quence.
