The document consists of boundary survey sheets, cover memoranda and form headings, with no narrative of the resource itself.","why_significant":"The document does not state the reasons for significance. It is an amendment adding recently acquired lands to a park already nominated in June 1976, and it includes a USGS quadrangle and a signature line for the Federal Representative.","narrative":"Moores Creek National Battlefield is a park in Pender County, North Carolina, and this amendment adds newly acquired parkland to its National Register boundary. The park's original nomination was prepared in June 1976 and covers the bulk of the battlefield. The amendment was sent to the National Park Service's Washington office in November 1986 and signed by the Bureau's federal historic preservation officer in December of that year. The added land is defined by a boundary survey using North Carolina State Plane coordinates, with monuments placed at the corners. The submission also included five by seven black and white photographs prepared in March 1987. The boundary increase extends the protected area of the battlefield, where a Patriot victory over Loyalist forces took place in 1776. The record contains no narrative description of the new lands' buildings or features.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.483909-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/20/7217/47721720/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/86003649.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86003649/66c766f08a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86003649/66c766f08a-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Jack E.
