Donald
Jones assisted the Department of Defense in producing a guide to natural
and historic areas on DoD lands (totaling some 350,000 acres) within the
Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The watershed extends from upstate New
York to southern Virginia and from the mountains of West Virginia to the
Atlantic coast, a 64,000 square mile drainage area.
The access guide, intended primarily for
military personnel assigned to the region but available to the public,
summarizes the various physiographic regions that make up the Bay's
extensive watershed and the human history of the region from prehistory to
the present. The access guide also provides a directory of military
installations, including Army Corps of Engineers reservoirs
and recreational areas, with locational maps and lists of the types of recreational
activities, natural areas, and historic sites that are publicly-accessible
at 48 of the Defense Department's installations within the Chesapeake Bay
watershed.
