Overview

The White River Narrows Archeological District is an area of outstanding petroglyphs that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There is one major site (Amphitheater) and five minor sites (Calendar Fence, Martian Home, Cane Site A, Site 4, and Ash Hill) in this area.

Site 4 is a small site composed of an isolated rock wall. Many of the rock faces are marked. The petroglyphs here are mostly abstract, but a few are representational.

The BLM and Lincoln County opened this area to the public. The BLM printed a single-sheet flier, and Lincoln County printed a 55-page brochure with information about the site (including GPS coordinates) as part of their Get Primitive tourism campaign.
