Cultivated fields now cover all of the former evacuee barracks area (Figures 6.26 and 6.27). However, a portion of the former high school location has been left uncultivated. Within this area there is small concrete building that might have been a vault (Figure 6.28). The cemetery location is also now farm land. The burials were removed when the center was closed; seven were re-buried in the cemetery at Powell, Wyoming (Inouye 1997).

On the lower terrace the locations of the hog farm, sewage treatment plant, and military police compound are now fields. The sewage disposal plant, a massive underground tank, likely remains buried. The swimming pool, which was likely never lined with concrete, is still evident as a depression, though silted in and overgrown with vegetation (Figure 6.29 and 6.30).
