Planning documents for Hot Springs National Park have identified the need for a landscape management plan (LMP) to guide future design and management of the landscape, especially in connection with the adaptive use leasing program. As part of the park’s cultural resource data base, the LMP identifies specific historic landscape development objectives and concepts that will guide the development of a comprehensive planting and site feature renovation program and a maintenance program. The LMP incorporates much of the contents of The Bathhouse Row Landscape: Technical Report #1 NPS 1985a), including the “Historical Overview” and “Design and Development” sections, and supersedes the “Compatability Assessment” section of the technical report. Landscape management classes, as defined through landscape inventory and evaluation in Technical Report #1, are used in the LMP. Implementation of the LMP represents the first comprehensive landscape treatment for the Bathhouse Row area since Lieutenant Robert Steven’s work in the 1890s and, as such, directs the continued evolution of the historic landscape. The first section of this LMP describes the history and current use of significant landscape elements, which together make possible the “spirit of the place” and defines LMP goals, objectives, and process. This provides the background necessary for understanding the rationale behind the action guidelines that are detailed in the second section.
