Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield: Geologic resources inventory report
Barthelmes M. 2025. Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield: Geologic resources inventory report. Science Report. NPS/SR—2025/255. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2307661
Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) reports provide information and resources to help park managers make decisions for visitor safety, the planning and protection of infrastructure, and the 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 2011 and a follow-up meeting in 2023. The chapters of this report discuss the geologic heritage, geologic history, geologic features and processes, and geologic resource management issues of Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield. Guidance for resource management and information about the previously completed GRI GIS data and poster (separate products) are also provided.
