National Register of Historic Places Bulletin No. 7. How National Register Boundaries Are Defined for Historic Units of the National Park System

摘要

For each historic unit, the National Park System will evaluate the entire authorized area, prepare a nomination form, and precisely define the boundaries to encompass the resources which have historic significance. If the proposed National Register boundaries coincide substantially with the park boundaries, the documentation is then forwarded to the Keeper of the National Register. When the Keeper signs the nomination form, the boundaries of the property considered to be listed in the National Register are thus defined by the documentation.
