Anybody "hunted" in/around this area?

Any historians or researchers shed some light on this area?

There was lots of Indian activity all through that watershed. Some of the better sites are now under the area lakes. Check with the office at the lake and find out if walking and fishing the s****lines is permitted. If it is okay, walk the s****line with a rod and reel rigged with a crankbait. The highest point on the north s**** closest to where Trading House Creek merges with Tehuacana Creek ( get a map of the reservoir ) would be a good place to start if such is permitted. The lake level should be low right now with lots of s****line exposed.

I was told by another individual that the north side of the lake used to be good for finds. Why the north? Is that where the trading villages were set up?

Indians will generally camp on the north side of a body of water if possible because such a site is cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The ideal campsite will be on the southeast slope of a high hill over-looking a water source; in this case, the confluence of Trading House and Tehuacana Creeks. From the top of the hill look for plateaus or flats with a southern exposure ( a topo map helps ). Some times a soil map ( available for free from the County Extension Service ) can help you locate a campsite...........sandy and sandy loam soils provided good drainage and were preferred over heavier soils; Indians did for sure camp on heavier soils if they had to...... but they didn't like it..........the mud made a mess and it pulled their moccasins off. If any of you ever spent any time in the military, in a tent, on a firebase, on gumbo soil during the monsoon you will appreciate what I mean.
