In November 1989, the Bureau of Historic Preservation and the Bureau of Construction, Division of Recreation and Parks, completed a cultural resources survey of nine Florida State Parks constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1933 and 1942, which was titled, "Cultural Resource Survey: New Deal Era Resources in Nine Florida State Parks." The nine parks surveyed include Florida Caverns; Fort Clinch; Gold Head Branch; Highlands Hammock; Hillsborough River; Myakka River; O'Leno; Ravine Gardens; and Torreya. The survey utilized the criteria for placement of historic properties on the National Register of Historic Places as a basis for site evaluations.
The series contains the materials gathered by the Bureau of Historic Preservation for the production of the survey. The materials include blueprints, building plans and drawings, correspondence, oral histories, photo inventories, reports, site maps, unpublished manuscripts, two cassette tapes of an interview with Allen Altvater about the Highlands Hammock State Park, and a copy of the "Cultural Resource Survey."
