Geographic Information Systems
Historical and Archaeological
GIS can be used to map the locations of historical resources in our community. These historical site locations can then be connected to information gathered from sources such as the manuscript census record or old maps and images of these locations. This allows for the easy exploration of multiple records that can help you to better understand the history behind the site. GIS is used to map known archaeological resources for cultural resource management purposes and can also be used to predict where unknown sites are located based on analysis of the existing geospatial characteristics of known sites.
