Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in North Dakota

NRHP docs now available online for North Dakota
I learned from User:Acroterion at my talk page that North Dakota (along with Alaska, Connecticut, North Carolina) now has NRHP nomination documents available at the National Park Service's NPS Focus webpage (try this NPS Focus interface. Should make it easier to develop NRHP articles, thot y'all would like to know. :) doncram (talk) 08:26, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Regions
The state has three main regions, the Red River Valley, the Drift Prairie, and the Missouri Plateau (which includes Badlands subarea), per the Wikipedia article Geography of North Dakota and various external sources, including ND Geography and North Dakota Studies.GOV. These regions provide basis to divide the NRHP listings into three geographically coherent clumps. This current list-article, instead, appends together, randomly, the counties which are "smaller" by number of NRHP listings contained. Thus the map of counties covered here is random, with random holes where "bigger" counties are omitted. --Doncram (talk) 00:57, 11 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Having noted the three regions in the table of this article, I see that the 3 regions divide the NRHP listings into about 160, 140, 100 listings apiece, which is fine. Therefore the separate county list-articles and this big list-article currently covering the "smaller" counties can be reorganized into three regions.  I will plan to leave this open for comments, and if there aren't any objections I will plan to proceed and implement the reorganization.  The main reason is to serve readers better, of course.  Readers be able to see commonalities of types of listings within each of the three regions.  For example the economy along the Red River valley may be different, and architects/builders working along that valley, and the clay soil characteristic of the region may lead to commonalities in types of structures and ultimately NRHP listings.  I hope and expect editors, including myself, can appropriately call attention to commonalities within lede sections of each of the three list-articles.  --Doncram (talk) 01:28, 11 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Note, further that the three NRHP listings which are "duplicates", i.e. which span across two counties, cause no difficulties. Each of those pairs of counties are within just one region, each.  Ridge Trail Historic District, listed in both Walsh and Pembina counties, is wholly within Red River Valley region. Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site, listed in both McKenzie and Williams counties (as well as Richland and Roosevelt counties, Montana), is wholly within the Missouri Plateau region. Custer Military Trail Historic Archaeological District is listed in Billings and Golden Valley counties, is also wholly within the Missouri Plateau region.  So there is no complication in presentation from the grouping. --Doncram (talk) 01:51, 11 November 2018 (UTC)


 * There was previous discussion in 2017 which i opened, advocating use of 6 tourist regions, not generally liked, though I did not understand reasons for objecting, or sarcasm. 3 geographical regions with 160, 140, 100 or so listings seems fine. --Doncram (talk) 21:18, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
