What's a PUBLIC LAND Anyway? (last of the series)

National Battlefields
The general designation “Battlefield” also includes National Battlefield, National Battlefield Park, National Battlefield Site, and National Military Park. All of these are administered by the National Park Service. There are 11 National Battlefields in the National Park System, including Big Hole National Battlefield in Montana where the Nez Perce Indians and the U.S. Army fought during the Nez Perce War of 1877. All battle sites are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Administering Agency: National Park Service

This concludes our series of brief descriptions of the different public land designations. Regardless of what agency manages them, public lands are YOUR lands. Enjoy and take care of them.
