Historic Structures Map

This map is a counterpart to our at-risk structures map. This map is primarily meant for documenting the locations of structures that have been demolished before 1990; however, some structures that were in existence before 1942 that still exist will also appear on the map. Native American sites will not be mapped unless they are protected as a site by state or federal agencies in order to avoid our maps being used for looting.

The icons are color coded.

Gray: Structures from before 1821

Green: Structures from between 1900 and 1941.
