This cultural landscape report (CLR) address the need for historic landscape analysis of the Bandelier National Monument (NM) Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) National Historic Landmark (NHL) Historic District. The historic landmark nomination was written in 1987 with a focus on the "Architecture in the Parks" theme, and it did not comprehensively address the significance and characteristics of the district's cultural landscape. Historic landscape documentation, analysis, and treatment recommendations offered in this report are needed to guide future management of the district's landscape elements. The study area extends beyond the NHL boundary to encompass several trails associated with the CCC. The district, a designed landscape, features a blend of architectural and landscape features. Specifically, the CLR identifies how landscape characteristics were intended to complement Pueblo revival architecture and echo the NPS Rustic design ethic. The CLR focuses on the historic character of the landscape, describing the historic look, feel, and function of the cultural landscape that will provide a basis for developing treatments or guidelines for park management. These efforts will allow the park to preserve the historic integrity of the district while maintaining a safe environment for employees and visitors. The period of significance for the Bandelier NM CCC NHL Historic Distric CLR is 1932-1942. This begins with the transferal of the park to the National Park Service and the agency's subsequent design and planning. It continues until the end of the NPS Rustic period of design in 1942, by which time the district was fully developed. The district is noted for both architectural and landscape architectural significance. The report also contains Site Furnishing Guidelines for the proposed expanded district.
