Chapter 6 (continued)
Heart Mountain Relocation Center

Central (Fenced) Area
Warehouse Area

In the warehouse area there are four 40 by 100 foot slabs, two connected with a 9-foot-ramp (Figure 6.23; Welch et al. 1988). One of the slabs has a mobile home on it. A dilapidated root cellar northeast of the warehouse area is still present (Figures 6.24 and 6.25). Construction of the root cellar, however, may pre-date the relocation center (John Collins, local resident, personal communication, 1994).
