The purpose of this atlas is to provide park managers, planners, community leaders, and others with a better understanding of changing human activities and socioeconomic conditions in the region surrounding national park units of the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network. These changes outside a park’s boundary can create complex park management challenges. Information about regional trends and conditions is needed in order to manage and conserve park resources— both natural and cultural—more effectively. This atlas provides such information in a series of maps at two scales.This document includes maps of socioeconomic indicators chosen by the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network staff in collaboration with resource managers at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and Cindy Brewer and Erin Greb of The Pennsylvania State University, from a list of 67 indicators used in a similar atlas effort lead by Jean McKendry in 2004 for 15 national parks. The indicators in this document were determined to be most relevant to Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network natural resource management.
