But for the US National Park Service (NPS), maps do more than provide guidance and navigation. Maps help the NPS protect visitors and natural resources. They help manage fires, both unplanned and prescribed. They provide a basis for preserving cultural resources, such as archaeological sites and historic buildings, and for establishing needed facilities, infrastructure, and transportation. The maps in Mapping America's National Parks: Preserving Our Natural and Cultural Treasures are not only beautiful representations of special places. Within the maps are layers of geographic information--a bevy of research and science--that the NPS uses to perform these myriad essential services and to ultimately fulfill their mission. With over 240 full-color maps and photographs of national parks, monuments, battlefields, historic sites, lakeshores, seashores, scenic rivers and trails, and more, Mapping America's National Parks takes you on a journey through our most treasured locations and shows how geographic information system (GIS) software helps the NPS keep the balance between park enjoyment and preservation. Discover how GIS helps the NPS: provide security for individual wildlife species, members of a crowd at a peaceful demonstration, and entire ecosystems; analyze where people most likely are stranded, where they are least likely stranded, and distribute assets in search and rescue operations; develop strategic plans, budgets, and protection for fire management; and share intelligence on wildlife trafficking, zoonotic diseases, field medicine protocols, and more." -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $z United States $x Management. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $z United States $v Maps. 650 0 $a Cartography $z United States. 650 0 $a Geographic information systems. 650 0 $a Sustainable tourism. 650 7 $a Cartography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00848025 650 7 $a Geographic information systems. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940423 650 7 $a National parks and reserves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033642 650 7 $a National parks and reserves $x Management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033667 650 7 $a Sustainable tourism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01750283 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Maps. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423704 700 1 $a Burns, Ken, $d 1953- $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Duncan, Dayton, $e writer of foreword. 710 1 $a United States. $b National Park Service. $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214053518.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E40A56F872D811EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
