National Parks

There are four presidents depicted on Mount Rushmore: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. One of the reasons Roosevelt was selected is because he did the most for the conversation of nature lands and wildlife in the United States.

During Roosevelts’s administration, he added five national parks: Crater Lake, Oregon; Wind Cave, South Dakota; Sullys Hill, North Dakota; Mesa Verde, Colorado; and Platt, Oklahoma. He also enacted the Antiquities Act in 1906, which led to him and future Presidents proclaiming many historic landmarks. You can see some of these national parks on several of the stamps on this album page.

Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower in Wyoming, El Morro in New Mexico, Montezuma Castle in Arizona, and the Petrified Forest in Arizona. He also proclaimed the Grand Canyon in Arizona as a national monument, as well as many other areas under the control of the federal government for preservation.

Note

This page is complete. Leuchtturm did a nice job of organizing the page: the layout is agreeable. I might not have put the stamps of the Whislter painting on this page, nor the other ones on the first and second rows. But that’s fine. They have to go somewhere and without them I’d complain the page was too empty.

Contains 14 spots: own 14 – 14 unused, 0 used.
