The rural historic landscape is one of the categories of property qualifying for listing in the National Register as a historic site or district. For the purposes of the National Register, a rural historic landscape is defined as a geographical area that historically has been used by people, or shaped or modified by human activity, occupancy, or intervention, and that possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of areas of land use, vegetation, buildings and structures, roads and waterways, and natural features.
Rural landscapes commonly reflect the day-to-day occupational activities of
people engaged in traditional work such as The cultivation of filberts, seen at Dorris Ranch in Lane County, mining, fishing, and various types of Oregon, is just one of the many activities for which a rural landscape may be significant in agriculture. From a single orchard of 50 trees agriculture. Often, they have developed planted in 1903, George B. Dorris started a ranch that became known and evolved in response to both the forces nationally for its production of filberts and hardy planting stock. Today, orchards cover 75 acres, contain 9250 trees, and produce an of nature and the pragmatic need to make a average of 56 tons of nuts annually. (Willamalane Park and living. Landscapes small in size and Recreation District) having no buildings or structures, such as an ex- perimental orchard, are classified as sites. Most, however, being extensive in acreage and containing a number of buildings, sites, and structures--such as a ranch or farming community--are classified as historic districts. Large acreage and a proportionately small number of buildings and structures differentiate rural historic landscapes from other kinds of historic properties.
Distinct from designed landscapes (see National Register Bulletin: How to Evaluate and Nominate Designed Historic Landscapes), rural landscapes usually are not the work of a

professional designer and have not been developed according to academic or professional design standards, theories, or philosophies of landscape architecture. The properties discussed in this bulletin possess tangible features, called landscape characteristics, that have resulted from historic human use. In this way, they also differ from natural areas that embody important cultural values but have experienced little modification, such as sites having religious meaning for Native American groups (see National Register Bulletin: Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Traditional Cultural Properties).
A rural area may contain one or more rural historic landscapes. It may also include other kinds of historically significant properties, such as a railroad depot or a granary with little acreage. The National Register lists only those properties satisfying the National Register criteria for historical significance and integrity. An understanding of historic contexts is essential for identifying the significant properties of a rural area and determining the eligibility of any particular property.
Primary is significance, ascribed by specific criteria and weighed within the framework of a community, region, or State's historic contexts. Historic contexts provide background information about the patterns of history and development that shaped a particular geographical area. This information links a rural property with important historic trends or themes, such as dairy farming or cattle grazing, indicating whether the property is unique or representative of its time and place. Contextual information also allows the grouping of properties having similar patterns of historic development, making it possible to weigh their relative importance.
Historic integrity, a measure of a property's evolution and current condition, is also necessary. A comparison of the changes experienced by a group of properties related by common historic contexts helps define the historic characteristics and qualities of integrity that qualify a rural property for listing. Recent changes that have erased historic characteristics, and do not have exceptional importance, make a property ineligible, even if scenic qualities are still present.
Spatial organization, concentration of historic characteristics, and evidence of the historic period of development distinguish a rural historic landscape from its immediate surroundings. In most instances, the natural environment has influenced the character and composition of a rural area, as well as the ways that people have used the land. In turn, people, through traditions, tastes, technologies, and activities, have consciously and unconsciously modified the natural environment. Politics, social customs, ownership, economics, and natural resources have determined the organization of rural communities and the historic properties they contain.
SYNOPSIS
A rural historic landscape is:
a geographical area that historically has been used by people, or shaped or modified

by human activity, occupancy, or intervention, and that possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of areas of land use, vegetation, buildings and structures, roads and waterways, and natural features.
The evidence of human use or activity is examined through eleven landscape characteristics:
* land uses and activities * patterns of spatial organization * response to the natural environment * cultural traditions * circulation networks * boundary demarcations * vegetation related to land use * buildings, structures, and objects * clusters * archeological sites * small-scale elements.
Rural historic landscapes are listed in the National Register as:
* sites or * historic districts
following:
* identification of historic landscape characteristics, * evaluation according to the National Register criteria, and * documentation on a registration form.
To identify a rural historic landscape:
* develop historic context, * conduct historic research, and * survey the landscape.
To evaluate National Register eligibility:
* define significance, * assess historic integrity, and * select boundaries.
To register a rural historic landscape:
* complete the National Register Registration Form (NPS 10-900), and * follow the procedures in 36 CFR Part 60.
