Buffalo National River: Geologic resources inventory report
Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2022. Buffalo National River: Geologic resources inventory report. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2022/2413. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2293766
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 2007 and a follow-up conference call in 2019. Chapters of this report discuss the geologic heritage, geologic history, geologic features and processes, and geologic resource management issues of Buffalo National River. Guidance for resource management and information about the previously completed GRI GIS data is also provided. GRI posters (separate product) illustrate the GRI map data.
