The fighting that occurred on the slopes of Little Round Top on July 2 and 3, 1863, is often considered one of the turning points in the Civil War. The views and natural features that directly contributed to its strategic, cultural, and historic significance make the area one of the most heavily visited sites within Gettysburg National Military Park. This volume of visitors exceeds the present capacity of the existing roads and paths, causing significant and recurring damage to the site's natural and cultural resources. The focus of this Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) is on the visual character, terrain, hydrology, natural, and built features that comprise the area within the Gettysburg National Military Park known as Little Round Top. This report is the result of a 2010 Scope of Work, intended to provide solutions for the overcrowding of Little Round Top and to identify appropriate areas for visitor facilities.
