Size

Comment: Anybody think this template is a little big? I don't know if there is any guideline for navboxes but this one has become larger than most. It would seem a shame to remove any of the sections but I wonder if the State Parks and Natural Areas and State Historic Sites sections could be modified to just list a few of the largest and then point to the list articles.

Just a thought ...

Historical sites

Question/comment: I just added El Orcoquisac to the section for National Historic Sites. But I am not sure if this was really correct. That is, what is the scope of that sub-section? El Orcoquisac is listed in the NRHP but I don't think it is categorized as a "park" by the NPS (but the NPS still manages in some fashion though I do not know the particulars). There are a lot of other sites on the NRHP which fall into a similar category and are not in this template ...
