The naming scheme used by the National Park Service is so confusing. My only contribution is that "National Park" means funding has been designated via Congress

The naming scheme used by the National Park Service is so confusing. My only contribution is that "National Park" means funding has been designated via Congress; "National Monument" means designated via the executive branch.
- blamazon 4y agoA nice page with all the various NPS designations: https://www.nps.gov/articles/nps-designations.htm https://www.nps.gov/articles/nps-designations.htm TIL of National Preserves and National Reserves, which are different.... The parkways are also somewhat odd. I didn't know NPS operated so many miles of urban roadway.
