"The Cultural Landscape Report for the Johnstown Flood National Memorial in Western Pennsylvania is organized into six chapters, beginning with a detailed history tracing the landscape's physical development including the construction and destruction of the South Fork Dam and the aftermath of the Johnstown Flood in 1889. The history is followed by documentation of the landscape's existing conditions and then an analysis and evaluation of the historic significance and integrity of the landscapes identified in the National Register of Historic Places documentation. The fourth chapter includes treatment recommendations to guide the rehabilitation of the historic lakebed and the properties associated with the national memorial's period of significance. The fifth chapter provides a Record of Treatment for the National Park Service's clearing of woody vegetation in the lakebed in 2019. Finally, the sixth chapter outlines a maintenance strategy for ongoing management of the lakebed's meadow and wetland may continue to evoke the drained Lake Conemaugh after the failure of the South Fork Dam"-- Provided by publisher. |
