The Survey Summary (PDF 2,103K) gives an overview of the information gathered for the Lettered Streets Neighborhood as part of the 2007-2009 Preserve America Historic Resource Survey and Inventory Project. As part of the Preserve America project, the report also provides recommendation for a National Register Historic District in the Lettered Streets Neighborhood. To view the National Register District nomination, see below.
The maps, images and graphs attached below were all created with the City's Geographic Information System (GIS) (PDF 1.17MB) using the information gathered by the consultants, volunteers, and students as part of the Historic Resource Survey. GIS allows us to assign a spatial element to data and makes it possible for information to be plotted on a map. Once the information is entered into GIS, different maps, charts and other graphics can easily be created. These maps and graphics will enable the neighborhoods to quickly view the information and analyze patterns that exist in their neighborhoods.
