Cultural Landscape Report Manzanar National Historic Site
Manzanar National Historic Site is located in the Owens Valley in eastern California, between the towns of Lone Pine and Independence just west of Highway 395 and just east of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Management related to the treatment of the cultural landscape at Manzanar is outlined in the park's General Management Plan (1996). The General Management Plan (GMP) calls for the site to be 'managed as a cultural landscape relating to the reception center era.' Key actions in the plan relating to treatment of the landscape include: Exterior restoration and conversion of the auditorium for use as a interpretative center; rehabilitation of the camp grid and road system; thinning and clearing of some areas of dense tree growth; reconstruction of the camp's perimeter fence; rehabilitation of some of the rock gardens and ponds constructed by the internees; reconstruction of sample barracks and single guard tower; management of orchards and ornamental plantings from both farming and relocation eras; improvement of the historic roadway alignments to accommodate one-way auto traffic.
