Description:

Abstract:

This polygon coverage includes both recent and historical cemeteries. County supplied source data to identify historical locations. Dataset consists of all cemeteries which were identifiable in the 1993 photography, plus historical cemeteries which were mapped using other source data and or verification methods.

Purpose:

Intended for illustration and demonstration purposes only.
