Why this record matters
“KUMT” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, KUMT, talk and radio provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6339489. Authority coordinates are 41.258, -112.440. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1984, 2016, 1986 and 1550.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
