Ellsworth County I-R

Officials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are seeking information from the public about the defacement of a Native American petroglyph. A bison shape carved into the surface of a rock surface within Ellsworth County, was discovered to have two names, Isaac and Emily, scratched within the interior of the petroglyph and immediately below it. The petroglyph measures about 9 and a half by 6 inches. USACE officials requested the location of the petroglyph site not be made public, in order to protect it from those who might wish to deliberately damage it.
