GREAT PUEBLO PERIOD OF THE McELMO DRAINAGE UNIT, A.D. 1075-1300
MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMISSION
McElmo Creek flows west through Montezuma County and eventually joins
the San Juan River. The McElmo drainage area is one of 10 cultural
units defined by archaeologists within the northern San Juan drainage
area, part of the Mesa Verde region, located in the Colorado Plateau
Physiographic Province of southwest Colorado and southeast Utah. This
region, including Mesa Verde National Park, was once peopled by an
ancient tribe of Native Americans known to later inhabitants as the
Anasazi.
The Great Pueblo Period (1075-1300) refers to a time in Ancestral
Pueblo development that began with the construction of increasingly
larger cliff dwelling and mesa top settlements that show evidence of
community planning. These sites contain Chaco-style great house sites
and were sometimes associated with roads or great kivas. The period
ends with the abandonment of these settlements. (Accepted by National
Register in 1992, accepted for State Register 6/9/2004)

Additional water must have been available somewhere nearby for the
estimated 75 to 150 villagers at Castle Rock to have survived there
for 20 years. McElmo Creek lies approximately 600 m (2,000 ft) south
of the site. It is not known whether this creek was a permanent water
source at the time Castle Rock was inhabited; irrigation water has
supplemented its flow since the late 1800s. An early explorer
reported that the creek bed was dry in July 1874.

[280:29] "Pretend I'm there on business, use a different name--"
The section begins with Frank disguising his identity in Denver, and
ends with Wren suggesting he do the same in Telluride. In between it
is Wren appearing in a variety of guises.
