The National Park Service (NPS) defines a cultural landscape as “a geographical area, including both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife or domestic animals therein, associated with a historic event, activity, or person or exhibiting other cultural or aesthetic values.” There are four general types of cultural landscapes, not mutually exclusive: historic sites, historic designed landscapes, historic vernacular landscapes, and ethnographic landscapes. Among these four types, Historic Site is defined as a landscape significant for its association with a historic event, activity, or person, for which battlefields are good examples. Like historic buildings and districts, battlefields as a kind of historic landscape reveal the origin and development of the country as they are composed of special features and uses.
