National Park System
The National Park System of the United States, now in the early years of its second century, comprises nearly 333 areas covering some 79 million acres in 49 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. These areas are of such national significance as to justify special recognition and protec tion in accordance with various acts of Congress. By Act of March 1, 1872, Congress established Yellow stone National Park in the T errilioriies of Montana and ll Wyoming "as a public park or pleasuring ground for the be~e1it and enjoyment of the people" and placed it "under exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior." The founding of Yellowstone National Park began a worldwide nath')nal park movement. Today more than 100 nations contain some 1,200 national parks or equiva- lent preserves. . In tne years following the establishme~t of Yellow- stone, the United States authorized additional national parks and monuments, most of ·them c::arved from the Federal lands of t~1e West. These, also. were adminis ·l J { tered by the Department Qf the Interior, while other monuments and natural and historicai areas wen; admin istered as separate units by the War Department and the '" ·~ ···~- ·: .. ~r: :. .::1!

Most are not units of the National Park System, yet they preserve important segments of the Nation's heritage. They are, therefore, given recognition in this section. Affiliated Areas In an Act of August 18, 1970~ the National Park System was defined in law as "any area of land and water now or hereafter administered by the Secretary of the Interior ,/' through the National Park Service for park, monument. hi~toric, parkway, recreational or other purposes." The same law specifically excludes "miscellaneous areas administered in connection therewith," that is, those properties that are neither Federally owned nor directly administered by the National Park Service but which utilize NPS resources. The Affiliated Areas comprise a variety of properties in I the United States and Canada that preserve significant I resourceS" 9Utside the National Park System. Some of these pro[.it:~rties have been recognized by Acts of Con gress, others have been designated national historic :!1 si~es by the Secretary of the Interior under authority of the Historic Sites Act of 1935.
