        together represent distinctive aspects of the heritage of the

        interpretation, and continuing use.
            (2) The best methods for managing the resources of the 
        Arabia Mountain area would be through partnerships between 
        public and private entities that combine diverse resources and 
        active communities.
            (3) Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, a 535-acre

            (4) Panola Mountain, a national natural landmark, located 
        in the 860-acre Panola Mountain State Conservation Park, is a 
        rare example of a pristine granite outcrop.
            (5) The archaeological site at Miners Creek Preserve along 
        the South River contains documented evidence of early human 
        activity.
            (6) The city of Lithonia, Georgia, and related sites of 
        Arabia Mountain and Stone Mountain possess sites that display 
        the history of granite mining as an industry and culture in 
        Georgia, and the impact of that industry on the United States.
            (7) The community of Klondike is eligible for designation 
        as a National Historic District.
            (8) The city of Lithonia has 2 structures listed on the

        available for the benefit of the public the natural, cultural, 
        historical, scenic, and recreational resources in the area that 
        includes Arabia Mountain, Panola Mountain, Miners Creek, and 
        other significant sites and communities.
            (2) To assist the State of Georgia and the counties of
