National Park Service Prepared for the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate; the Committee on Natural Resources United States House of Representatives; and the Secretary of the Interior. wv016_sty_2009 The data set is an ESRI ARCINFO GIS shapefile. The data set consists of the Study Area boundary defined for Shepherdstown, West Virginia, wv016, one of the 384 principal battlefields of the American Civil War as identified in the 1993 "Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report on the Nation's Civil War Battlefields." The report was prepared at the behest of the U.S. Congress. The Study Area boundary defines tactical context and visual settings and reflects the historical extents of the battlefield as it is known through research and on-site investigations. The original purpose of this data set was to provide an update to the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report on the Nation's Civil War Battlefields (1993) and the accompanying data on the location and historic extent of 384 principal battlefields of the American Civil War. The National Park Service's American Battlefield Protection Program used this updated data to address the following: the need to refine the 384 battlefields' core and study area boundaries to better reflect the historic extents of the battlefield landscape; define areas of the battlefields that retained integrity; identify threats to the battlefields' current integrity; and identify changes in condition of the battlefields since 1993. The update to the Report was authorized by the American Battlefield Protection Act of 1996 as Amended (16 USC 469k). Additionally, the battlefield boundaries and the information associated with them may be used by local, state, regional, and national planning organizations, preservation entities, and other private entities for purposes of preserving these important historical resources. The battlefield was originally surveyed and Study and Core Area boundaries were created in 1993 by the U.S. National Park Service, American Battlefield Protection Program. The battlefield was resurveyed and Study and Core Area boundaries were updated as needed in 2009. Additionally, those portions of the battlefield landscape that retain integrity were identified and boundaries delineating Areas of Integrity and areas Potentially Eligible for inclusion on the National Register were created. At the discretion of the Chief, American Battlefield Protection Program locational information may be withheld on the authority of the Archeological Resource Protection Act [ARPA] of 1979 section 470hh. As applicable, all approach and withdrawal routes (roads, river/ocean channels) were buffered before being added to the Study Area polygon. Land routes that were utilized primarily by infantry troops were buffered at 200 yards; land routes that were utilized primarily by cavalry troops or a mixture of cavalry and infantry were buffered at 400 yards. Naval approach and withdrawal routes were placed within historic shipping channels where applicable and buffered accordingly. en 2009 publication date Complete Irregular -77.840049 -77.739793 39.458025 39.336358 255634.775116 263867.570161 4357729.181739 4370992.766891 Battlefield Survey Manual battlefield battlefield land ISO 19115 Topic Category planningCadastre, 015 boundaries, 003 Jefferson County West Virginia WV United States USA The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (U.S. War Department, Washington, D.C.: 1880 - 1901) American Civil War 1861-1865 none Originator must be acknowledged when using data set as a source.

Shapefile The data set was developed out of a reconnaissance level survey of the battlefield.

In all cases a Study Area boundary is contiguous and the polygon lines are closed. The file naming convention is as follows: al001_sty_2009: al = U.S. Postal Service state name abbreviation; 001 is the battlefield survey code (Civil War battlefields are assigned 0 through 199); sty = study area; 2009 = year in which the data set was created/finalized.

Reconnaissance level surveys involve research using primary and secondary sources, battle accounts, and other documentation followed by field survey of the visible features (defining features) associated with the battlefield e.g. earthworks, historic road traces, structures, etc. Based on the spatial extent of these features, researchers used a GIS to digitized a study area, core area, areas of integrity, and, where applicable, potential National Register boundaries using USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps as base maps. No archaeological testing or other sub-surface investigations were used in the field survey. Users should not derive any conclusions as to the subsurface nature of battlefield related deposits based upon this data set.

U.S. National Park Service, American Battlefield Protection Program 24000 computer program 2005 publication date Field surveys served to verify, where possible, the existence, location, and condition of battlefield features such as troop movements, troop positions, engagment areas, battery emplacements, and staging areas. Based on the spatial extent of these features, researchers used a GIS to digitized a study area, core area, areas of integrity, and, where applicable, a potential National Register boundary on to digital USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps. Using primary and secondary sources, battle accounts, and other documentation researchers identified battlefield defining features. The location of these features were then incsribed on to USGS 7.5 Minute quadrangle maps and were used to aid in digitization in a GIS of study area, core area, areas of integrity, and, where applicable, potential National Register battlefield boundaries. 2009 Paul Hawke National Park Service, American Battlefield Protection Program Chief mailing address
