NPS Centennial System Map and Guide

Brochure Overview

This is the audio-only described version of the National Park Service’s official brochure of its entire system. Side one of the brochure is a map of the United States with several smaller inset maps of specific areas. Parks are identified on these maps. Through photographs, illustrations and text, side two presents the highlights of the National Park Service’s 100 years from 1916 to 2016 and looks into its future.

Side One Overview

The brochure is titled, "National Park Service Centennial 1916 to 2016." The black banner displaying the brochure title, similar to other National Park Service brochures, extends vertically across the left edge of the map when open. The map is credited to the National Park Service, US Department of the Interior, www.nps.gov, August 25, 2016. A shaded National Park Service arrowhead appears in the corner.

A map of the contiguous United States extends horizontally across the front of the brochure, filling most of the space. There are five insets across the bottom of the map: Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. Each map shows the shaded topography and is colored to suggest desert or forested areas. Long blue trails extend north and south through the eastern United States. Small black print labels and colored areas indicate National Park System Areas distributed around the country. Labels are congested on the East Coast and lists of parks in the Boston Area, New York City Area, Philadelphia Area, Baltimore Area, and Washington DC Area are located over the Atlantic Ocean. The map includes a legend and abbreviations for National Park System areas. A small map of the world with North America centered is labeled, "Where the Parks Are." Small portions of Canada and Mexico are visible, but unlabeled on the contiguous map.

Lists of parks organized alphabetically and by state are found under their own titles.

Map of Contiguous United States

The contiguous United States map shows shaded elevation, with the mountainous area covering much of the Western United States. These mountains, as well as the small range of mountains extending north and south near the East Coast, are colored orange-brown and fade into light brown, then green and gray as the shaded relief disappears in the Plains and coasts. States, rivers, and major bodies of water are labeled. Green shapes labeled with park area names are scattered throughout much of the West and, to a lesser extent, the East. Small type labels crowd the map in several areas, especially the East Coast. Adjacent to the East Coast in the Atlantic Ocean are lists of parks in the Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC Areas.

Lists of parks organized alphabetically and by state are found under their own titles.

Legend

Nestled between the Hawaii and Guam insets is the legend for the maps. Text notes that, the "Map depicts the 412 authorized National Park Service units." Within the map, a green dot indicates the location of the city where the national park unit is located. A white dot with a black outline indicates a city that is close by. The name of the city is next to the white dot.

Text also notes that, “For more information about National Trails administered by the National Park Service, visit: www.nps.gov/nts. For Wild and Scenic Rivers information, visit: www.nps.gov/wsr.”

There is a scale in kilometers and miles. Approximately one and a half inches equals 200 miles and one inch equals 200 kilometers on all maps except for Alaska. For Alaska, approximately one and a half inches equals 400 miles and one inch equals 400 kilometers.

Side Two Overview

The back of the wide, rectangular brochure is colorful with many photographs and short paragraphs of text grouped with images. The brochure is organized with the first section spanning the horizontal space in the top half. It is titled, “The National Park Service in the Next 100 Years.” Introductory text accompanies a composite image. A green border separates this section from the bottom half, which has two equally sized sections. A large quote by John Muir spans the middle of the sections. It states: “I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” The lower left section is titled “Shaping the National Park System," and includes a timeline with images beginning in the 1860s and ending in 2016. The lower right section is titled “Reaching Beyond Park Boundaries” and includes brief text accompanied by images about current roles of the National Park Service. The bottom of the brochure is lined with green silhouettes of iconic animals and buildings. Beneath the silhouettes, numerical facts about national parks and people add up to quote: “100 years and beyond.”

The content of each section and descriptions of associated images are presented under their own titles.

Shaping the National Park System

In the lower left section of the brochure, beneath the heading, “Shaping the National Park System,” is a timeline extending from the 1860s to 2016. Timeline entries and associated black and white and color photographs are grouped together under their own titles.

1920s

1860s

1870s to 1916

1930s

1950s

1960s and 1970s

1980s, 1990s, and 2016

Reaching Beyond Park Boundaries

The lower right section of the brochure is titled, “Reaching Beyond Park Boundaries.” It mixes brief text with color photos of people engaged in activities outdoors, including gathering around a park ranger, examining the edge of a body of water, in kayaks on a shore, riding horses, and traversing a sand dune in a specialized wheelchair with large wheels. The text and image groupings appear in three columns and are presented under their own titles.

Bottom Border and Facts

A green border lines the bottom of the brochure. Silhouettes of famous buildings and animals protrude upward into the timeline right side of the brochure. Numerical facts about national parks add up to 100 years beneath the silhouettes.

From left to right, the silhouettes are: sequoia tree, elk, Joshua tree, train, dinosaur, Spanish-style building with bells, bison, St. Louis Arch, bird, person wearing a hat playing a saxophone, cannon, Statue of Liberty, turtle, and lighthouse.

The equation consisting of facts about the National Park Service is: “Over 400 national park system areas + 84 million acres + 18,000 miles of trails + 10,000 miles of park roads + 27,000 historic structures + 75,000 archeological sites + 167 million museum objects + 660,000 junior rangers + 247 threatened or endangered species + 879 visitor centers + 246,000 volunteers-in-parks + 300 million visitors = 100 years and beyond.”

The National Park Service in the Next 100 Years

This introductory section, titled “National Park Service in the Next 100 Years,” occupies the top half of the rectangular brochure. It includes a quote, brief paragraphs of text, and a large composite image that extends horizontally across the bottom of this section.

The composite image is comprised of colorful photos of people in front of a background of two faded scenic photos. The left background photo is of a snow-covered mountain range in Denali National Park. The right background photo is of San Juan National Historic Site in which the historic rock wall leads to a fort atop an outcropping that meets the ocean.

The section begins with a large quote that precedes three brief columns of text. The quote, from National Park Service Director Horace M. Albright in 1933, states: “Do not let the service become just another executive government bureau; keep it youthful, vigorous, clean, and strong.”
