Hitchcock S. 2009. Mount Locust: Cultural Landscape Report, Natchez Trace Parkway, National Park Service. Cultural Landscape Report. NPS Southeast Regional Office. Southeast Regional Office
The CLR for Mount Locust has several objectives. Part 1 documents the historical development of the landscape characteristics and associated features, materials, and qualities that make a landscape eligible for the National Register. The site history, existing conditions, and analysis and evaluation sections identify the historical values associated with the landscape, document extant landscape characteristics and features, and define the significance and integrity of the landscape. Part 2 outlines treatment recommendations, which will enable the park to better manage its cultural landscape. The most recent documentation and evaluation of the landscape features is the Historic Grounds Report completed in 1980 and the Historic Structure Report completed in 1998. Other park planning documents consulted include the Natchez Trace Parkway Administrative History, Design Guidelines Natchez Trace Parkway, and archeological studies conducted between 1996 and 2003. Additional archival research for the CLR was undertaken at the NATR archives. In addition to park planning documents, Travel, Trade, and Travail: Slavery on the Old Natchez Trace by Obernuefemann and Thomas; The Cultural Geography of the Natchez Trace Area to 1861 by Myers; Agriculture in Ante-Bellum Mississippi by Moore; The South-West by a Yankee by Ingraham; Gardens and Historic Plants of the Antebellum South by Cothran; and The Slave States by Olmsted were consulted, as well as numerous NPS reports.
