Three Mile Gulch Prehistoric Archaeological District
Park County
The Three Mile Gulch Prehistoric Archaeological District is significant for industry and prehistoric archaeology, exploration/settlement, and social history.
The landscape of the district is able to visibly convey a unique manifestation of petrified wood quarrying, lithic reduction, and use of Archaic Period peoples in the South Park region. Threemile Gulch can be envisioned as a lithic landscape, a land surface that is virtually draped in lithic materials and that records consistent extraction and use of petrified wood across millennia, particularly during the Archaic.
