Description	Areas around the White Pockets SEGA site have had the Bridger fire destroy vegetation in 1996. Millet repeat location is north of the Bill Hall trail, west of the trailhead on the north Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The location is found by following the Bill Hall trail west, up a steep ridge to level elevation before the trail descends. The photo location is north of the trail where barbed wire, nails and board can be found. A USGS brass cap benchmark can be found just south of trail. Facing north, the Millet location overlooks the valley where vegetation resembles that of White Pockets SEGA site. Facing north Millet looks directly at Brow Monument Repeat Location. Brow Monument repeat location facing southward gives another perspective of the valley and vegetation. At the Millet repeat location the original photograph from McCulloch collection was taken before the fires swept through. At the location the barbed wire in the photo was still present as well as nails resembling those in the piece of board. A small piece of charred board was also uncovered and all items were photographically documented. Facing north from Millet documents another perspective of the valley where White Pockets is located. Brow Monument is located approximately one mile west of the Little Mountain SEGA site. Follow a service road west to the small trailhead indicating the “Brow Monument Trail #108.” This trail includes interpretive signs regarding Powell’s survey and a well-marked trail maintained by the US Forest Service. The original rock pile used by Powell’s men still remains in addition to numerous USGS brass cap benchmarks. This location is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Millet and Brow are connected to John Wesley Powell’s survey project of the north rim area. Refer to McCulloch, Clay Collection for extensive information regarding the relocation of Powell’s journey in this region. The topographical maps included will be beneficial when relocating these locations. UTM coordinates: 12S 374846mE 4050422mN. Elevation: 7290 ft. Date/time: 5/19/2015 3:51:50 PM
