Abstract
Between 1966 and 1979, the creation and development of the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area (NRA) in southwest Virginia under Jefferson National Forest administration captured the dynamics of a new era of Forest Service land management. During these years, the Mount Rogers NRA evolved from a visionary project typical in scope of the Great Society to a much less intensively developed Forest Service recreational area. During this period, economic, environmental, and cultural factors on local, regional, and national levels helped shape the NRA's course, and coincided with a revolutionary transformation within the Forest Service and other natural resource agencies in regard to public involvement in management planning and policies.
