New Historic Site Finding Aid from the Historic Preservation Office
Have you seen this great resource by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office? They have created a GIS Web Service, to serve as an aid in planning and research. It is an online map that shows virtually all recognized historic sites in the state. Site locations and boundaries are “drawn from georeferenced scans of National Register and historic property survey maps, supplemented with aerial photography, county tax parcel layers, and other sources.”
When you arrive at the site, click the disclaimer at the bottom of the screen and you can see the location and status of many (many!) historic sites around Alleghany and beyond.
