Abstract: The Design and Engineering drawings/plans/maps archives is comprised of essentially two categories of documents: a) various maps and drawings necessary to complete large-scale park-wide comprehensive master plans, General Management Plans and developed-area specific comprehensive design plans to guide future management decisions. Drawings graphically record existing conditions, such as; roads trails, boundaries, natural and cultural resource data, and facilities information, such as; buildings, locations of water, sewer, and electrical systems. Frequently, projects include alternatives rejected and alternatives to plans that were eventually approved; and b) a range of preliminary and final design construction projects, prepared by engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture staff and consultants for construction projects to meet its facilities development needs. Planning as well as specific design projects are often prepared by an interdisciplinary team comprised of park staff, NPS Denver Service Center (DSC) specialists, concessioners, and/or consultants.
