JPG - Cultural Resources Plan

The U.S. Army published the Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP) for JPG in August 1996. The CRMP provides the guidelines and procedures for managing JPG's cultural resources and documents the archeological and architectural resources and local prehistoric and historic site locations. Listed below are the NRHP-listed or NRHP-eligible properties that should be protected, preserved, or mitigated for loss if impacts are unavoidable.

Built Environment

Formal NRHP Eligibility Determinations - The CRMP recommended that a portion of JPG be considered eligible for listing in the NRHP as a potential district. This property includes 74 of the World War II standing buildings.
Buildings Inventory and Potentially Eligible NRHP Properties - The CRMP documents 410 pre-1989 architectural resources and 22 bridges. Of these totals, 76 buildings and 8 bridges date to pre-1946 and are eligible for NRHP inclusion. Of these 84 potentially eligible buildings and structures:

a.) 74 World War II buildings are proposed for the NRHP district.
b.) 2 pre-war buildings, the 1869 Oakdale School and the 1920s Old Timbers Lodge, which are now NRHP-listed.

c.) 8 bridges, four of which are NRHP-listed (Bridges Nos. 17, 25, 27, and 28) and four others are potentially eligible.

Archeological Resources

An archaeological inventory of the 55,264-acre facility was initiated in 1975. Subsequently, five additional surveys have been completed, including a survey of the Cantonment Area in 1995. The combined areas that have been surveyed total 4,845 acres.
Of the 153 recorded archaeological sites on the facility (74 prehistoric, 55 historic, and 24 prehistoric/historic), none is presently eligible for inclusion in the NRHP.
An additional 21,619 acres remain to be inventoried.
