Before this land was divided, IndianRock.art was part of a 600acre plot that was originally parceled out in the 1800s. Through some basic research and observation, I have come to the conclusion that the first settler homestead was located just a stone’s throw away, northwest of IndianRock.art, and their access road was just behind the Temple Site, east of the current drive, off of Airport Rd. I have found settler artifacts on the hilltop but nothing within the property lines of IndianRock.art. The only indication of previous inhabitance is the top-layer of carved stones scattered about the hillside. They number in the tens of thousands, and I suspect that there are layers beneath layers, under the topsoil. It is because of this likely theory that I am steering away from building permanent structures that might require earthwork or flatwork.
