Publishable Worldview

Hear the place before you visit it.

NPS Sounds is no longer a parks demo. It is a governed place graph with canonical entity pages, differentiated section surfaces, launch tiers, and a station product sitting on top of live National Park Service telemetry.

Start at the place, move through the graph, then open the station. The homepage now exists to route users into that system, not trap them in decorative UI.

FAQ
What should I do from the homepage now?
Start with /places if you want canonical entity pages, /atlas if you want the editorial front door, or /station if you want the listening product directly.
Why are some place sections missing from the sitemap?
The publish boundary is tiered. FULL pages and their live sections are promoted into the sitemap; shell surfaces stay provisioned without being over-published.
What makes this a programmatic show instead of a static brochure?
The page graph is built from materialized state, launch tiers, canonical entity declarations, governed hubs, and station entry points rather than one-off landing pages.
