1 box (0.4 cubic ft)
Includes applications to the National Register of Historic Places Inventory;
for a Dade County Historic Site designation; and for a state archaeological
site listing. Also includes photocopies of reports by Robert Carr and

Arch Creek was a tourist and picnicking spot from the 1890s on. In the
1950s the growing pressure of development and the equally growing public
interest in parks and preservation clashed over the best use to be made
of the area, until it was made part of the Dade County Parks System.
