Submit your nomination electronically via email, CD-Rom, or a memory stick to your NHL contact. If you submit your materials other than through e-mail, please use an express mail carrier. Because our postal mail is irradiated, your materials will be damaged if they are sent through the US Postal Service.

You do not need to submit a cover letter with the nomination.

A complete nomination package includes the following items:

1. A completed draft nomination form with correctly formatted footnotes and bibliography.

2. A labeled USGS map with clearly defined boundaries.

3. Labeled black and white photographs and digital color images.

4. Accompanying architectural plans and/or figures, and archeological figures if appropriate.

If you are in doubt about any of these materials, ask your NHL contact for clarification.

It represents at least two cultural phases. Big and Little Petroglyph Canyons, originally designated on July 19, 1964, have been incorporated into this larger National Historic Landmark as part of Coso Rock Art District.
