Figure 1. Project vicinity. Consultation with informants with pertinent information regarding the project area, ditch systems, and their histories. This included consultation with the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, the Tuolumne Band of Me- Wuk, and the Tuolumne County Historical Society. Preparation of a Historic Resources Evaluation Report comprising NRHP evaluations of the system, as well as the thirteen individual ditches, including historical background, research on the properties, and an evaluation of their eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and the Tuolumne County Register of Cultural Resources. The State Historic Preservation Officer will be consulted upon finalization of the HRER to obtain an eligibility determination.

Figure 2. Project location. A comprehensive Historic Properties Management Plan (HPMP) has also been prepared and will be submitted separately. This document identifies system maintenance that will be exempt from further review (requiring no further cultural resource work) and specifies project types where additional cultural resource review is needed. NATURAL AND CULTURAL SETTING The ditches, canals, and flumes of the TUD Ditch Sustainability Project are distributed throughout the north central portion of Tuolumne County, and lie at elevations ranging from approximately 1400 to 4000 feet above mean sea level (amsl). This location is within the Foothill Belt environmental zone, also referred to as the Sonoran life zone; and the Yellow Pine Belt or Transition Zone (Storer and Usinger 1963:27). The systems flow southwesterly from the Tuolumne Ditch (or Main Canal) originating on the South Fork Stanislaus River, and historically took water from various creeks along their routes: Turnback, Blanket, Rough and Ready, Curtis, Sullivan, Woods, and Peppermint creeks, as well as numerous drainages and gulches. The landscape consists of steep hillsides, knolls, and gently sloping meadows. Stands of chaparral are found on the hillsides, interspersed with stands of oak and pine, with grasslands in the meadows and open slopes.
