Nine Processes That Have Shaped the U.S. National Park System
The U.S. National Park System began at Yellowstone in 1872 and the National Park Service (NPS) took over its management in 1916. That system has evolved through nine processes to 429 units in every state and most territories. Those processes include (1) the classification of units by natural, historical, and recreational purposes and resources while shifting from isolated sublimity to representation of U.S. environment and history; (2) the spatia…
From Competition to Cooperation
This essay explores the evolving international relationship of the two national park agencies that in 1968 began to offer joint training classes for protected-area managers from around the world. Within the British settler societies that dominated nineteenth century park-making, the United States' National Park Service (NPS) and Canada's National Parks Branch were the most closely linked and most frequently cooperative. Contrary to campfire myths…
A National Park in the Wasteland
The National Park Service functions through the conceptual framework of American culture, which derives from Christian ideas born in the Middle East. Biblical societies reacted to deserts in two ways. Most people shunned arid areas as dangerous and bereft of life. But a second belief drew prophets and others who sought retreat for meditation or seclusion. The National Park Service and the public initially held the negative view of the desert, but…

Cultural Landscapes
Research Perspectives on National Parks
American national parks have served as research sites for geographers for close to a century. Ellsworth Huntington studied giant sequoias and published The Secret of the Big Trees in 1921. More recently, Thomas and Geraldine Vale used repeat photography to analyze vegetation change in Yosemite (1994), and David Butler has conducted research on natural hazards in Glacier National Park (1989, 1998). Since Ronald Foresta's 1984 analysis of the Natio…
The Hidden Landscape of Yosemite National Park
National parks share many obvious landscape characteristics. One of them goes largely unnoticed—infrastructure to provide water, sewerage, and garbage services. This paper traces the gradual adoption of romantic-era concepts about shielding human intrusions in parks from public view by Park Service landscape designers during the early twentieth century. It focuses on sewerage, water, and garbage facilities which were essential to serve growing nu…
The Political Geography of National Parks
Many national parks contain private lands and non-park economic functions that can interfere with management purposes. The number and variety of these "threats" depend on the degree to which the boundary of a new park encloses previously settled lands and economic development. Yellowstone is the only example of a major park established before European American settlement; it is largely free of inholdings and non-park uses. By contrast, Glacier Na…

Agency culture, cumulative causation and development in Glacier National Park, Montana
Promotional Imagery of Glacier National Park
The Great Northern Railway vigorously encouraged visitation to Glacier National Park between 1911 and 1930. We reconstruct the railway's promotional imagery of Glacier through an assessment of 796 photographs used by the company to publicize park landscapes and activities. Seven themes in the photographs—Native Americans, scenery, recreation, wildlife, the Wild West, park management, and personalities—reveal a useful portrait of how Glacier Natio…
The Mountainous West
The Mountainous West
Traditional interpretations of the American West have concentrated on the importance of its aridity to the region's cultural evolution and development. But the West is marked by a second fact of physical geography that distinguished it (from the experiences of settlers) from the east. As pioneers struggled with the climate west of the hundredth meridian, they were also confronted by mountains strewn across the region and offering their own set of…

Americans in Britain
Although geography does not have a strong base in American universities, large numbers of US students undertake short courses in the United Kingdom every year. The paper considers the problems involved in designing field trips for these students. It reports on the experience of a two‐week trip with undergraduates from the University of Southern Mississippi and suggests that the educational success of such ventures depends on a combination of clea…
