The relocation center chicken farm was located just outside the
southwest corner of the fenced central portion of the relocation center.
Remains include numerous concrete slab foundations of the office and
processing plant and coops, rock and concrete retaining walls, rock
alignments, and an ornate 6-foot-high incinerator made of rock and
concrete (Figures 8.94-8.96). Rows of black locust trees enclose the
site, and within the site there are many more black locust trees and one
Arizona cypress. Sheet wash has buried portions of some slabs and some
features are overgrown by brush and weeds. Inscriptions in the concrete
include mostly names and Japanese characters (Figure 8.97). Artifacts at
the chicken farm include window glass fragments, bottle glass fragments,
hotel ware ceramic fragments, wire nails, cans, pieces of lumber,
bricks, clay sewer pipe fragments, and electrical porcelain knobs.
The relocation center hog farm, located-1/2 mile south
of the residential area, includes several concrete slabs, some with feed
troughs (Figure 8.98), a rectangular pen area defined by alignments of
black locust trees, other related structures and features, scattered
artifacts, and a 1,150-foot-long access road and pipeline. A concrete
weir box and section of concrete-lined ditch where water was diverted
from a dirt ditch has a partial 1940s date and a group of damaged
Japanese inscriptions translated as seven family names and "Group
B."
