Cultural Landscape Report for Rural Plains, Richmond National Battlefield Park: Treatment
Hammond JW. 2016. Cultural Landscape Report for Rural Plains, Richmond National Battlefield Park: Treatment. Cultural Landscape Report. National Park Service, Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation. Boston, Massachusetts
The National Park Service uses cultural landscape reports as the primary document guiding landscape preservation and also as the primary tool for guiding long-term management. Cultural landscape reports provide treatment guidance within the context of the site’s history and significance, extant features and historic character, and current planning objectives and management goals. Treatment guidelines and recommendations developed in the cultural landscape report are grounded in research, inventory documentation, and analysis and evaluation of the landscape characteristics and features that contribute to the site’s historic character. This volume, the Cultural Landscape Report for Rural Plains, Richmond National Battlefield Park: Treatment, includes a framework and recommendations for the treatment of the Rural Plains cultural landscape. It also includes an analysis of historic landscape conditions based on archeology and three-dimensional modeling tools to help inform treatment recommendations. This volume follows the Cultural Landscape Report, Part 1, Totopotomoy Creek Unit, Richmond National Battlefield, completed in 2010 by Dutton and Associates, LLC. That volume included the site history, existing conditions, and analysis and evaluation of the Rural Plains landscape.
