    Appendix F Bill Wallen Farm Creek on Featherstone Refuge Archaeological and Historical Resources Overview ■ Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge ■ Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge Archaeological and Historical Resources Overview: Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge Archaeological and Historical Resources Overview: Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge Compiled by Tim Binzen, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Northeast Regional Historian Archaeological and Historical Resources Mason Neck NWR contains an unusually important and diverse archaeological record, which offers evidence of thousands of years of settlement by Native Americans, and of later occupations by Euro-Americans and African- Americans. The variety within this record is known although no comprehensive testing program has been completed at the Refuge. Archaeological sites in the current inventory were identifi ed by compliance surveys in highly localized areas, or on the basis of artifacts found in eroded locations. The Refuge contains twenty-fi ve known Native American sites, which represent occupations that began as early as 9,000 years ago, and continued into the mid-seventeenth century. There are fi fteen known historical archaeological sites, which offer insights into Euro-American settlement that occurred after the seventeenth century. The small number of systematic archaeological surveys that have been completed previously at the Refuge were performed in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and focused on specifi c locations within the Refuge where erosion control activities were considered (Wilson 1988; Moore 1990) and where trail improvements were proposed (GHPAD 2002; Goode and Balicki 2008). In 1994 and 1997, testing was conducted at the Refuge maintenance facility (USFWS Project Files).

The channel between the island and the Virginia shore is commonly referred to as the Little River, and the smaller island located immediately southwest of Theodore Roosevelt Island is known as Little Island. Together the two islands comprise an 88.5-acre naturalistic landscape unique among the heavily urbanized environs. Although distinct, Little Island is managed as a component of the larger Theodore Roosevelt Island. In turn, Theodore Roosevelt Island falls under the auspices of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, a component of the National Park Service. The parkway runs parallel with the island along the Virginia shoreline to the west, and a pedestrian bridge facilitates access to the island across the Potomac River.
