ABSTRACT
:·,
In November and December, 1987, the author conducted an
archaeological survey in the Trap Spring oilfield in
Railroad Valley, Nye County, Nevada. The work was conducted
on behalf of Makoil , Inc., who planned ·the development of
five addit ional wells in its Munson Ranch Unit. One
previously recorded site, 26-Ny-624 (CRNv-6-220), was found
to fall within the boundaries of three of the five proposed
wells .
Following consultation with Makoil field personnel,
the layouts of these wells were adjusted to avoid impacting
major features of the site. One previously unrecorded
archaeological site was also discovered during the survey .
This site was recorded on standard IMACS site forms, and no
other impact mitigation was recommended.

Area and Environmental Setting: The project area is located
approximately 13 air miles southwest of the town of Currant,
in the northern Railroad Valley drainage basin of the
central Nevada hydrographic region. Railroad Valley is a
northeast/southwest-trending bolson roughly 150 miles long
and 15 miles wide. It is bounded on the east by the Grant
Range, which reaches a maximum elevation of 11,298' at Troy
Peak, and on the west by the somewhat lower Pancake Range.
Access to the area is via u.s. Highway 6 and several gravel
roads maintained by the oil company. Several haul and drill
roads connect the many operating wells in the vicinity.
The Trap Spring oilfield lies in the north-central part of
the valley, where a series of alluvial lake plains descend
toward a small playa formed by pluvial Lake Railroad (Miflin
and Wheat 1979). The two plains are separated by a narrow
(appx. 100-200 meter wide) strip of sand dunes formed during
and after recession of the lake. Other pluvial lake-related
features in the vicinity include wave-cut terraces and
gravel bars formed by wave action and near-shore currents
(Elston, Davis, and Clerico 1979) .
Well locations 14-34x and 14-44 were located on the lower
plain, on a light tan, compact alluvial silt with little or
no rock or gravel. Several shallow braided runoff channel s
crossed this area; these had overflown, partially inundating

the well locations at the time of the initial survey.
Saltgrass was the dominant vegetation in this area , with
rabbitbrush, thistle, arrowcane, wild rye, greasewood, and
other grasses present in lesser quantities .
Locations 14-22, 14-31, and 14-41 were placed at a slightly
higher elevation, in the dunes and upper plain in the
immediate vicinity of Trap Spring. The upper plain had
compacted sand and silt, and a high gravel content.
Greasewood and shadscale dominated the vegetation in this
area . Fauna and faunal indicators observed included
domestic cattle, jackrabbit, badger, coyote , bobcat, and a
variety of raptors and other birds and insects.
Review of Existing Information-Ethnography: The project
area is situated in the traditional ethnographic territory
of the Western Shoshoni. steward (1938) reported an
ethnographic population of 250 for Railroad Valley, or one
person for each nine square miles. Shoshoni occupation was
focused along the series of spring mound complexes at the
edge of the valley, but people from these villages travelled
throughout the surrounding mountains a·n d valleys to gather
seeds and pine nuts, hunt rabbit , deer, and antelope, and
collect other resources . Steward reported major Shoshoni
settlements at Duckwater, currant, Blue Eagle Springs, and
Nyala. At present Duckwater, 15 miles north of the project ,
is a Shoshoni Indian Reservation.
Archaeology: Evidence of pre-Shoshoni occupation is also
found in the area, primarily on the dunes and beach terraces
marking the receding shoreline of ancient Lake Railroad.
Particularly well-represented are sites of the Western
Pluvial Lakes Tradition (WPLT), a widespread latePleistocene/early-Holocene adaptation. WPLT tool
assemblages from other locations in Railroad Valley include
large bifacial knives, stemmed and concave based projectile
points, crescents , gravers, punches, choppers, and a variety
of unifacial and bifacial scrapers with steep, well-formed
edges (Price and Johnston 1986; Zancanella 1987).
Paleoindian adaptations gave way to Archaic hunting and
gathering traditions around 8,000 years ago. Archaic
adaptation featured a reliance on a wider variety of
resources, including processed and stored seeds, and a more
complex settlement pattern with a wider variety of site
types (Elston 1982). Projectile points types, milling
tools, and ceramics indicate a sequence of cultural
development and change for the area which follows the
general Great Basin pattern, with local variations dictated
by local environmental and social conditions.

Hi s tory: Railroad Valley may have been discovered by
Europeans as early as 1827, when Jedediah Smith led a small
party of fur trappers on a return trip from southern
California to Salt Lake. Although Smith's route has not
been defined precisely, he is believed to have followed the
approximate path of modern Highway 6 1 crossing the Pancake
Range and northern Railroad Valley in the vicinity of the
project area (Morgan 1953; Vlasich 1981) • .
White settl e ment began in 1867, when miners from Austin,
Nevada, discovered silver ore in the Grant Range. The town
of Troy was laid out, and a twenty-stamp mill was operated ·
until 1871 (Angel 1881). In the valley itself, livestock
ranching was the only feasible economic pursuit until oil
e xploration b e gan.
In 1954 the Eagle Springs Oilfield began
operation, b e coming the first productive oil development in
the state (Elliott 1973). The Trap Spring field began
production in 1976, and has produced more than seven million
b a rrels of oil (NDM 1987).

National Re gister Re view: No properties currently listed
on or nomina ted to the National Register of Historic Places
(USDI 1979-1987) are located in the immediate vicinity of
the current project. The nearest known site considered to
be eligible for the Register is 26-Ny-1908, the Railroad
Valley Gravel Bar site, which is located 1.5 - 2 miles
southest of Trap Spring (Elston, Davis, and Clerico 1979).
This site will not be effected by the current project.
BLM Documents Review: A review of the Area site files and
basemaps revealed that several cultural resources surveys
have been conducted in and around the Trap Spring field in
association with the oil developments there . These surveys
have resulted in the recording of numerous archaeological
sites ranging from isolated tools and debris to large and
complex habitation loci. Surveys in Section 14 in the
immediate vicinity of the current project include Nevada
State Museum 1978, Toll 1981, Stornetta 1983, and Schock
1984a, b.
The archaeological site at Trap Spring, 26-Ny-624 (CRNv-06220), was first recorded in 1976. The site is a complex
association of features including hearths and fire-cracked
rock concentrations, very dense lithic tools and debitage
(several hundred piecesjsqm), millingstones, ceramics, bone,
charcoal, and other elements indicative of a long-term
settlement. Based on the presence of late-sequence
projectile points and Intermountain brownware ceramics, the
site was assigned to the Blue Eagle and Clifford phases, ca.
300 B.C. to A.D. 1863 (McGonagle and Waski 1978). Originally
recorded as covering appx. 300x150 meters immediately south
of the spring, subsequent visits to the site have resulted
in the discovery of additional materials which have
substantially expanded the site boundaries.

Methods: Prior to commencement of fieldwork, Ms. Margaret
Waski was contacted at the BLM Tonopah Area Office regarding
the nature and extent of known archaeological sites and
projects in the area. The Area Office was visited on
October 22, 1987, at which time a Field Authorization

review of the Area site files was conducted.
On-site ins p e ction of the five well locations was conducted
on November 10, 1987. At each location, the proposed well
site had b e en marked with stakes and flagging defining a
400' x 400' s quare. Two of the locations also required
construction of small stretches of new access road. Along
the acce ss routes, a 20 meter wide corridor was inspected by
a pair of line ar transects spaced at 10 meter intervals; at
the well locations, a series of ten 200 meter long parallel
linear transects were walked at 20 meter intervals. In this
manner, an area of about 650' x 650' (200 x 200 meters) was
inspe cted at e ach location according to Class III standards
a s outline d in the BLM General Guidelines {1985). When
cultural ma t e rials were encountered, the survey area was
exp a nded to d e termine the actual areal exent of the deposit.
The techniques used in this survey were such that all
cultural resources in the project area should have been
discovered. There is, however, a remote possibility that
additional archaeological materials could be uncovered
during the course of project development.
If such materials
are discovered, construction activities in the vicinity of
the finds should be halted immediately, and the Battle
Mountain District Manager of the BLM should be notified.

Results and Recommendations: One previously unrecorded
prehistoric archaeological site was discovered during the
course of the survey. Pending assignment of a permanent
site designation, the site has been given the temporary
number RRA87-88-1. The site is a variable density scatter
of 50-100 flakes of chalcedony, chert, quartzite, and other
material in two concentrations covering an area of 50x75
meters at the tip of a low {2 meter tall) gravel bar in the

southeast corner of the 14-34x well location. A single
utilized flake was the only tool observed, and there was no
apparent depth to the deposit. Since the well pad will
cover an area of not more than 250'x250 ', it will not impact
the site directly.
Because the site did not appear to meet
National Register standards, no impact mitigation beyond
site recordation was recommended .
Material associated with the Trap Spring site, 26-Ny-624
(CRNv-6-220), was found to fall within the boundaries of the
14-22, 14-31, and 14-41 well locations .
It appears that the
cultural material on these locations is part of one
extensive archaeological site covering several hundred
acres. The site lies primarily in the strip of dunes
separating the two descending terraces described on page 5
' above. The dunes trend from southwest to northeast acros s
the three locations, along the 4780 ' contour as shown on the
Blue Eagle Springs 15 minute quadrangle (USGS 1964 , Maps 2
and 3).
Dense lithic debris , hearths, burned bone, and other
significant features were observed in the dunes on the
eastern third of the 14-22 location, and along the proposed
access route between the location and the existing road.
Most material was located in a blowout/depression near the
southwest corner, where a highly eroded millingstone , ·
Intermountain brownware ceramics , and a thin , well-made
chert projectile point tip were observed .
Similar materials were also observed eroding from the dunes
just west of the existing road at the south end of the 14-31
location. On the 14-31 location itself only about a dozen
flakes were observed , primarily in one concentration on a
low dune on the west side of the location.
A discontinuous scatter of secondary and tertiary flakes
covered most of the 14-41 location. Most material was
located on the southeast half of the location; it was fairly
dense (up to 15 piecesjsqm) in the stabilized dunes at and
just beyond the southern edge , becoming quite diffuse to the
north . No formed tools, hearths, or other features were
observed at this location.
J
I
Because of the density of cultural material , variety of
tools , and the potential for stratified, datable deposits in
the dunes, the Trap Spring Site is considered to be
potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register
of Historic Places .
It was therefore recommended that major
features at the site be avoided during development of the
current project . The 14-22 location was of particular
concern due to its proximity to the ma jor site features; the

14-31 and 14-41 locations were of less concern because
debris was considerably less dense , surface features were
not present, and the potential for subsurface deposits was
low •
On December 10, 1987, the author visited the three
questionable locations with Al Drayton , Makoil's field
supervisor at Trap Spring. He indicated that the actual
' disturbance area for these wells would be less than the 400'
square staked by the surveyor, and that alignment of the
pads could be adjusted. At the 14-22 location , the site
boundary fell approximately 25 meters (80') east of the well
bore; the boundary was marked with flagging tape, and it was
agreed that the pad could be built to the west of the site
boundary. Rather than building a new access road, Makoil
agreed to follow an existing trail and a previously surveyed
seismograph line. The trail would be no more than 15' wide,
and all widening would go to the south , away from the dunes
and cultural material . Drayton agreed to supervise
construction crews personally to ensure that they do not
drive within the site boundary or create other secondary
impacts.
At the 14-31 and 14-41 locations , it was agreed that the
pads would be built on the northern portion of the flagged
400 1 square, thereby avoiding the majority of lithic debris.
Access to 14-41 would come off the 14-31 location rather
than the existing road .

It should be noted that impacts to 26-Ny-624 have been
occurring since development of the Trap Spring oilfield
began (McGonagle 1978 ). Though the site may meet National
Register standards , continued development pressure may make
site preservation an infeasible alternative . While projects
such as the current one may manage t o avoid major impacts t o
the site , the cumulative result of on-going oil developments
in the area will be continued degradation of the
archaeological resource .
It would be to the benefit of both resource developers and ·
resource managers to undertake a cooperative effort t o
recover significant archaeological information before it is
permanently lost .
It is therefore recommended that Makoil ,
the BLM , and other companies involved in the area work
together to develop a management plan for the site . Such a
plan might include a research design and outline of
management objectives , as well as intensive survey of the
entire development unit , site mapping, and testing and
mitigative excavation. Such a plan would help to organize
and interpret piecemeal archaeological surveys such as the
current one , and once carried out , could eliminate the need
for additional studies.

MODEL LWS RAM BLOWOUT PREVENTERS
Model LWS blowout prevcntcrs have been the most
popular Shaffer ram prevcnters and have met the
demanding pressure control requirements of the drilling
industry for more than 20 years. Many of the featurE's
incorporated in the most advanced SL models are
included in the LWS design.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -------SPECIAL FEATURES----------------------ll Rams are available which will support a
600,000-pound drill string load when a tool joint is
lowered onto the closed rams. These rams conform
to HzS requirements.
UOperation and Maintenance Manual," pages 22, 23.
£l Poslock operators are available on the 4 1/ts" -5,000
and 10,000 psi, 20 3/4" 3,000 psi and 21 1/4" 2,000 pc;
LWS BOPs.
tJ Secondary ram shaft seals are furnished on all
LWS preventers except 4 1/,s" 5,000 and 10,000 psi;
7'/,6" 5,000 psi; and 11" 3,000 psi BOPs.
o
Rams are easily replaced. They slide horizontally
onto the ram shaft as shown below, except on the
4 1/ts" 10,000 psi BOP where the ram mounts onto
the ram shaft from above. For more details see
o
Manual-lock operators are furnished on all LWS
BOP's not equipped with Poslock operators.
c
Maximum ram hardness is Rc22 to insure H2 S
compatibility of pipe and blind rams. Shear rams
have some harder components.
- - - - - - - - - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE--- - -MODEL LWS POSLOCK SYSTEM
- --
-
Poslock adjustmont throed
LWS prevcnlcrs equipped with Poslock pistons are
locked automatically in the closed position each time
they are closed. The preventers will remain locked in
the closed position even if closing pressure is removed.
Opening hydraulic pressure is required to reopen the
pistons.
The hydraulics required to operate the Posloc.k are
provided through opening and closing operating ports.
Operation of the Poslock requires no additional
hydraulic functions, such as are required in some ·
competitive rani _locking systems.
When closing hydraulic pressure Is applied, the
•
complete piston assembly moves inward and pushes
the rams into the well bore. As the piston reaches the
fully closed position, the locking segments slide toward
the piston 0.0. over the locking shoulder because the
locking cone is forced inward by the closing hydraulic
pressure.
Locking segment
The locking cone holds the locking segments In
position and is prevented by a spring from vibrating
outward if the hydraulic closing pressure is removed.
Actually, the locking cone is a second piston inside the
main piston. It is forced inward by closing hydraulic
pressure and outward by opening hydraulic pressure.
When opening hydraulic pressure Is applied, the
locking cone moves outward and the locking segments
slide toward the piston 1.0. along the tapered locking
shoulder. The piston is then free to move outward and
open the rams.
NOTE: Poslock pistons are adjusted in the factory and
normally do not require adjustment in the field except
when changing between pipe rams and shear rams.
The adjustment is easy to check and easy to change.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE (Continued)
MODEL LWS MANUAL-LOCK SYSTEM
Manual-lock pistons move Inward and close the
rams when closing hydraulic pressure Is applied. If
desired, the rams can be manually locked in the closed
position by turning each locking shaft to the right until it
shoulders against the cylinder head. Should hydraulic
pressure fail, the rams can be manually closed and
locked. They cannot be manually reopened.
I
The manual locking shafts are visible from outside
and provide a convenient ram position indicator.
Threads on the manual locking shaft are enclosed in
the hydraulic fluid and are not exposed to corrosion
from mud and salt water or to freezing.
Rams are opened by first turning both locking shafts
to their unlocked position, then applying opening
hydraulic pressure to the pistons, which move outward
and pull the rams out of the well bore.

MODEL LWS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Manual-lock piston in closed position
The hydraulic pressure required to close an LWS
BOP is below 1,500 psi with rated well pressure in the
bore. Any standard 1,500 psi oil field accumulator
system can be used to actuate these BOPs.
External hydraulic manifold pipes conduct
fluid between the hinges on all sizes except the
4'/,e" 5,000 and 10,000 psi, 20 3/.4'' 3,000 psi and 21 114''
2,000 psi LWS BOPs.
Rams are easily changed on the LWS. First, place
rams in the fully open position. Next, vent all hydraulic
ram operating pressure to relieve any binds in the hinge
pins so that the doors will open easily. Remove the door
cap screws and swing the doors open. Apply closing
hydraulic pressure to extend the rams for easy removal
from the ram shaft. Simply remove the worn ram and
replace with a new one. Finally, apply opening hydraulic
pressure to retract the rams into the door cavities
before closing the doors and securing the door cap
screws.
