Biographical/Historical:     In November 1989, the Bureau of Construction, Florida Division of Recreation and Parks, and the Bureau of Historic Preservation completed a cultural resources survey of nine Florida State Parks constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1933 and 1942.  The survey utilized the criteria for placement of historic properties on the National Register of Historic Places as a basis for site evaluations.  The survey results compile an authoritative data bank that complies with both state and federal preservation regulations.
