Excerpt from Pathmakers: Cultural Landscape Report for the Historic Hiking Trail System of Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, Maine; History, Existing Conditions, and Analysis Existing Conditions describes the configuration of the trail system at the time of this report, with an emphasis on the landscape characteristics and features of the trail system, such as topography and natural features, rather than individual trails. Individual trails are described in an associated database, a portion of which is included in the appendices. Analysis of Significance and Integrity investigates potential areas of significance for the trail system with respect to the National Register of Historic Places. This section addresses the trails as a system but focuses on those within park boundaries. The Analysis com pares findings from the Site history and existing condi tions to evaluate the historical integrity of the trail system, and identifies the significant characteristics of the trail system. The Significant characteristics provide the framework for treatment recommendations pre sented in the second volume.
