A few weeks ago the Copper Area News reported that the Tonto National Forest with the San Carlos Apache Tribe submitted an application to the the Keeper of the Record at the National Register of Historic Places to nominate “Chi’ chil Bildagoteel” most commonly known as Oak Flats as a historically significant site. This nomination process began in December 2014 and after a final public comment period which ended on July 16, 2015, the Keeper of the Record has determined that the nomination will be sent back to the Forest Service.
