This database, which is to be used in conjunction with ArcView software, is provided to assist the user in analyzing the visibility of any proposed location within 5 miles of the GPS reference line of the trails in order to evaluate effects to the landscape and setting of National Historic Trails in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulations at 36CFR Part 800.
