Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park: Geologic resources inventory report
Barthelmes M. 2021. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park: Geologic resources inventory report. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2021/2324. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2288173
Geologic Resources Inventory reports provide information and resources to help park managers make decisions for visitor safety, planning and protection of infrastructure, and preservation of natural and cultural resources. Information in GRI reports may also be useful for interpretation. This report synthesizes discussions from a scoping meeting held in 2012 and a follow-up conference call in 2020. Chapters of this report discuss the geologic setting and significance, geologic features and processes, and geologic resource management issues within Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Information about the previously completed GRI map data is also provided. A GRI map poster (separate product) illustrate the GRI map data. Geologic features, processes, and resource management issues identified include erosion and mass wasting, fluvial features and processes, monadnocks, earthworks, stone quarry, building stone, ultramafic rocks, seismic activity, caves and karst, and eolian features and processes.
