Mapping America\u2019s National Parks: Preserving Our Natural and Cultural Treasures<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\r\n

By US National Park Service<\/p>\r\n

he US National Park Service (NPS) uses GIS to manage the natural resources it protects and create maps that help park visitors enjoy them. Mapping America\u2019s National Parks: Preserving Our Natural and Cultural Treasures<\/i> provides an inside look at how the NPS uses layers of geographic information, containing the results of scientific research, to perform essential services. The information produced by its GIS helps the NPS provide security for individual wildlife species; manage fires, both unplanned and prescribed; preserve cultural resources, such as archaeological sites and historic buildings; and establish and maintain facilities, infrastructure, and transportation. Geospatial analysis assists the NPS in locating and rescuing stranded visitors and developing strategic plans and budgets. This book contains more than 240\u00a0full-color maps and photographs of national parks, monuments, battlefields, historic sites, lakeshores, seashores, scenic rivers, and trails.
