Wikiproject Protected Areas: Protected areas of the United States

This is a working list of areas in the United States that may be protected areas and/or may have been identified as such. This is to cover the U.S. National Park Service areas and other areas for review that may or may not meet definition of protected area. Tables here to indicate their status as protected and/or natural areas, and whether they are or should be listed as protected areas by IUCN and in wikipedia (which may be different matters).

National Park Service administered and some of its affiliated areas

[edit]

National Park Service administeered and some affiliated areas are adapted from List of areas in the United States National Park System, and then expanded. These are

  • 58 officially-designated National Parks in the United States and its dependent areas (numbered 1-58 here)
  • 77 National Monuments listed below which are believed to be partly or wholly administered by the National Park Service. ( In addition, there are others administered by other agencies, up to a total of 93 or 95, see List of National Monuments of the United States. )
  • 20 National Preserves (numbered 201-220 here).
  • 42 National Historical Parks listed here (numbered 301-342 here).
  • 89 National Historic Sites (numbered 401-489 here).
  • 1 International Historical Site (numbered 501).
  • 45 National Memorials (numbered 1001-1045). Note the source list states there are 44.
  • 20 National Recreation Areas (1101-1120)
  • 10 National Seashores (1201-1210)
  • 4 National Lakeshores (1301-1304)
  • 15 National Rivers (1401-1415)
  • 3 National Reserves (1501-1503)
  • 9 Parkways (1601-1609)
  • 3 Scenic Trails (1701-1703). A number of other National Park Service trails are part of the larger National Trails System. Only 3 of the trails are considered official units of the Park system and are kept in this list.
  • 14 National Cemeteries (1801-1815) (Most National Cemeteries are administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, although a few are managed by the National Park Service and the U.S. Army. None of the cemeteries are considered official units of the system; they are all affiliated with other parks.)

Some sites may be in more than one of the above types; such duplicates may be noted in the comments column.
