The Park is a unit of the national park system and was established to commemorate the national significance of the Battle of Pea Ridge, the largest Civil War battle fought west of the Mississippi. The Park protects and preserves nearly 90 percent of the actual battlefield.

The draft GMP/EIS describes and analyzes the environmental impacts of the proposed management action (preferred alternative) and two other action alternatives for the future management direction of the Park, including the impacts of the boundary modifications. A no-action management alternative is also evaluated.
