Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore: Geologic resources inventory report
Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2022. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore: Geologic resources inventory report. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2022/2421. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2293878
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 2010 and a follow-up conference call in 2020. Chapters of this report discuss the geologic setting, geologic features and processes, and geologic resource management issues of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Guidance for resource management and information about the previously completed GRI GIS data is also provided.
