Cowpens National Battlefield: Geologic resources inventory report
Thornberry-Ehrlich TL. 2020. Cowpens National Battlefield: Geologic resources inventory report. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2020/2214. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2283636
This report synthesizes discussions from a scoping meeting held in 2005 and a follow-up conference call in 2019. Chapters of this report discuss the geologic setting and distinctive geologic features and processes within Cowpens National Battlefield, highlight geologic issues facing resource managers, describe the geologic history leading to the present-day landscape, and provide information about the previously completed GRI map data. A GRI map poster (separate document) illustrates these data. Geologic features, processes, and resource management issues identified during the 2005 GRI scoping meeting and follow-up 2019 conference call include fluvial features, processes, and issues, ravine erosion, Old Scruggs Lake and fossil pollen record, restoration of 1781-era wetlands, Green River Road and monuments, bedrock outcrops, geologic hazards, and faults and folds.
