each region in the summer of 2001. The second set was obtained from Dean Tucker, who digitized boundaries for the Horizon
Project. The main set from David Duran was determined to contain the most recent boundary information. Parks missing from
David's set were added from Deans set. Those parks are..........Antietam NB Arlington House,Benjamin Franklin NMEM, Big Hole
NB, Catoctin Mountain Park, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal NHP, Chimney Rock NHS, Fort Point NHS, Fredericksburg NC, George Washington
Memorial Parkway, Green Springs, Harpers Ferry NHP, International Peace Garden, John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing
