NP-4 Camp, Company 516, was
established on July 6, 1934. This camp was located on the north
side of the Green River, what was then called the Cade area. This
site is currently called Maple Springs and is used in the park for
groups today.
These enrollees were responsible for operating a large stone quarry,
crushing the rock and distributing it to be used on roadwork. The
enrollees performed much roadwork in the park, laying the gravel,
surfacing and oiling the roads, clearing ditch lines, installed
culverts, constructing drains and grades, and building retaining
walls. The enrollees worked to control erosion by building 500 temporary
check dams and planting trees. They also assisted in fire hazard
reduction, removing small trees and stumps. The men were trained
in fire fighting and did fight fires as needed.
NP-4 Camp was disbanded in 1942.
