This evaluated inventory identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics as character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved inventory records when all required data fields are entered, the park superintendent concurs with the information, and the landscape is determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places through a consultation process or is otherwise managed as a cultural resource through a public planning process. 2008Edisen Fishery & Rock Harbor Lighthouse 20102011Barnum Island 2013Captain Kidd Island - McPherren Compound UnpublishedIsle Royale Light Station-Menagerie Venturing About Land and LakesExplore Island History & Culture |
