Anchoring Ancestral Neighborhoods with GIS Resources
12:15–1:30 pm Instructor: Powell, Smith
This session provides practical guidance on using GIS property maps as a starting point for neighborhood research. Learn how to access and interpret GIS resources and explore strategies for connecting modern parcels to historical deeds. Integrating GIS mapping with traditional land title research allows us to anchor our ancestral neighborhood to its physical location and can serve as a workaround for tracing properties with imprecise property descriptions.
