The planned extension of FM 1042 in Live Oak County includes a crossing at the Nueces River. Phase II archaeological testing of two sites (41LK284 and 41LK294) on the north and south terraces of the Nueces River was undertaken by TxDOT archaeologists, prior to construction, to determine eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places(in accordance with 36 CFR Part 800) and State Landmark status.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will widen US 281, just south of George West, Texas. The project will affect a portion of archaeological site 41LK288 on the west side of the existing highway.

The site was tested in March 1992 in order to determine its eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Based on this investigation, 41LK288 appears to be an open campsite with a Middle Archaic component. No features were found and in most of the test units, artifacts were sparse. The site is not considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
