Petersburg National Battlefield: Geologic resources inventory report
Thornberry-Ehrlich TL. 2024. Petersburg National Battlefield: Geologic resources inventory report. Science Report. NPS/SR—2024/190. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2305713
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 2005 and a follow-up conference call in 2022. Chapters of this report discuss the geologic heritage, geologic history, geologic features and processes, and geologic resource management issues of Petersburg National Battlefield. Guidance for resource management and information about the previously completed GRI GIS data and posters (separate products) are also provided.
