Contour map of the resistivity data from Grid 2. Six major resistance anomalies were identified during the survey. They included the sidewalk around the edge of the 20th century city park (old fort parade ground), the diagonal path to the center of the park, the remains of Lincoln street, the location of a blockhouse from a Civil War lunette, and two paths or walks associated with the 1840s/1850s military occupation of Fort Scott. One path appears to connect to the flagpole in the center of the parade ground and the second path appears to connect to the well from the Infantry barracks (HS6).
