DTIC ADA572120: Fort Monroe Historic Viewsheds

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This document is an inventory and evaluation of the historic viewsheds of Fort Monroe. This document serves to meet the requirements for Federal agencies to address their cultural resources, defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object, specifically, Section 110 which requires Federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources. As a strategically located defensive fortification, views and firing lines have been critical to the design, planning and operation of Fort Monroe. This report identifies fifty significant views that remain at Fort Monroe. Significance and integrity were evaluated for each of these views. Recommendations were made for preserving these significant views. The identified views were identified based on historic photographic documentation and the presence of a specific historic viewpoint. Unfortunately very little historic photo documentation exists of the military views associated with Fort Monroe, for example firing points from the fortification and batteries.

Maps have been included of these firing points and discussion of the military importance has been included
