Excerpt from Draft General Management Plan, Environmental Impact Statement: Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, Missouri; May, 2002

The general management plan (management plan) is the primary planning document of the National Park Service (nps). The management planning process performs two critical functions for nps managers. First, by describing specific desirable resource conditions and visitor experiences in national parks, it establishes a clear direction for resource preservation and visitor use, and it assesses alternate management strategies for achieving these goals.

These goals are based on the nps's purpose, significance, special mandates, administrative commitments, the body of laws and policies that guide management of the national park system, and the issues and concerns expressed by nps staff, park visitors, neighbors, and the general public. The management plan provides a framework to guide park management decision making for the next 15 to 20 years. Nps management plans are developed in consultation with the general public and interested organizations, including federal, state, and local agencies.

Wilson's Creek National Battlefield is located about five miles southwest of the city of Springfield, Missouri, on the boundary between Greene and Christian Counties in the southwestern comer of the state (see map of region). Wilson's Creek National Battlefield encompasses acres, which includes 75 percent of the actual battlefield. A map of the park is shown in Existing Conditions. Please see the Adequacy of Park Boundaries section for a further discussion of this topic.
