The National Register of Historic <br />Places is the official Federal list of <br />districts, sites, buildings, structures, <br />and objects significant in American <br />history, architecture, archeology, <br />engineering, and culture. National <br />Register properties have significance <br />in the prehistory or history of their <br />community, State, or the nation. The <br />National Register is maintained by the <br />National Park Service on behalf of the <br />Secretary of the Interior. <br />National Register Bulletins provide <br />guidance on how to identify, evaluate, <br />document, and register significant <br />properties. This bulletin is designed <br />to help preparers properly select, <br />define, and document boundaries for <br />National Register listings and deter- <br />minations of eligibility. It includes <br />basic guidelines for selecting bound- <br />aries to assist the preparer in complet- <br />ing the National Register Registration <br />Form. Examples of a variety of <br />property types are presented. These <br />examples illustrate several ways to <br />address boundary issues. <br />75B -451 <br />This bulletin was prepared by <br />Donna J. Seifert, archeologist, under a <br />cooperative agreement between the <br />National Conference of State Historic <br />Preservation Officers and the Na- <br />tional Park Service. <br />Carol D.
