A cultural resources survey and historical documentary was undertaken at Grafton, North Dakota, to assist in planning for proposed flood control measures. During a spring 1982 revisit to the area, one Burlington Northern Railroad bridge was recoded as an architectural/historic cultural resource site. The documentary research conducted for, and the subsurface tests conducted at, the Plant View Homestead site are sufficient to determine that this site is not significant, nor is it eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places; the State Historic Preservation Office has concurred with this determination and no further work is recommended for this site. The Railroad Bridge site is considered to have the potential for significance, since it represents what may be the only remaining structures of its kind in the Red River Valley. Recommendations concerning the Railroad Bridge site include implementation of flood control measures in order to avoid the site completely.

One historic cultural resource site was located and recorded during field reconnaissance in the study area. This site, 32RY9, is comprised of the remnants of an abandoned railbed, which once was used by the Devils Lake and Chautaugua Railroad to transport patrons of the North Dakota Chautaugua to the Chautauga grounds on Creel Bay. A portion of the railbed is situated in Section 4, and it will be inundated if the proposed south holding pond is constructed. The tracks and ties used to construct the Devils Lake and Chautaugua Railroad were removed in 1917; therefore, the original railroad feature has been altered. Since no structural evidence of the Devils Lake and Chautaugua Railroad exists at the site, it was determined that site no longer retains integrity and it was determined that this site does not retain architectural significance. The site does have historically significant associations, in that it is related to the North Dakota Chautaugua (located on Creel Bay), but these associations are not such that the site would be likely to yield historically important information. It is recommended that no further cultural resource work need be conducted prior to implementation of proposed flood control measures at Devils Lake.

The literature search and records review identified no previous archaeological investigations and no known archaeological sites in the Grafton area. It identified nine historic sites, only one of which has been field checked by a cultural resource professional. This site-Williamson House in the city of Grafton--has been declared eligible for the National Register by the North Dakota State Historic Preservation Office. None of the other sites has been subject to a National Register Survey. Of the sites identified in this study, only the rural school in Section 11, T157N R53W seems likely to be impacted by the flood control alternatives under consideration by the Corps of Engineers. The study concludes that the cultural resources of the Grafton area are largely unknown, and recommends that the ground to be disturbed by flood control construction be field surveyed to determine whether prehistoric or historic cultural resources which require protection may exist there.
