Conductivity data from Fort Caspar. The conductivity data identifies a number of 20th century disturbances including a sewer line, a manhole cover, water lines, and utility lines. There are two light scatters of conductive materials that are probably metal artifacts. One of these areas is at the location of the demolished house at the south end of the grid. The second area is to the northeast of the one within the debris zone of the house. There are two areas of conductive highs located in the northwest portion of the survey area that probably represent natural features associated with the North Platte River floodplain.
