The petroglyphs are in the Interior Line Style, or Dinwoody style, consistent with other rock art in central Wyoming.^[1] Site investigations have uncovered a number of petroglyphs that had previously been hidden under lichen.^[2] The site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 4, 1993.
