Once celebrated in the 1930s, local advocates sought national park status, emphasizing its natural beauty. Simultaneously, it became a symbol for environmental reformers addressing land abuse, particularly in the South. The narrative intertwines the park's historical significance with broader themes of environmental degradation and conservation efforts.
