The CCC's helped farmers reduce soil erosion by planting shelter belts, building small dams and terracing sloping land., Oklahoma's first state parks were designed by the National Park Service and built by the CCC. In 1934 the National Park Service relocated its regional office from Denver to Oklahoma City. The nationally acclaimed landscape architect, Herbert Maier, was the regional director of this office. In the 1920's, Maier designed beautiful stone and log structures in Yellowstone, Yosemite and Grand Canyon National Parks. As the National Park Service's director of this region's CCC projects, Maier assembled one of the nation's finest teams of architects. Their work embodied the best of the National Park Service's "rustic" architectural design philosophy. , Captions , Upper Left: C.C.C. Camp, Company 2822, Woodward, OK. , Upper Right: First Lt.
