Interpretations overalaid on the results of the resistivity survey at Central Park, Grand Forks, ND. Geophysical anomalies traced in yellow are thought to represent late 19th and early 20th century features associated with the Jacob Dobmeier Brewery complex and the former city street on which it was located. The outlines of 3rd street and associated utility lines are plainly visible. A rectangular "grid" of linear resistance highs at 50 N, 135 E may be associated with the refrigeration equipment belonging to the brewery's ice house. Those features traced in blue are thought to be "modern" 20th century features related to the site's present use as an urban park. Geophysical anomalous regions traced in red are possibly cultural features, but of an indeterminate origin. Included in this category are two rectangular anomalies, located at 95 N, 150 E and 80 N, 160 E, both of which may be historic building foundations Features traced in green may represent prehistoric or proto-historic Native American cultural features. Soil coring data collected prior to the geophysical survey suggests that there may have been a Native American occupation within the survey area.
