National Register of Historic Places Polygons SCTDD

Overview This Feature Service provides a detailed and spatially accurate representation of historic properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places clipped to the SCTDD counties. It consists of polygon features representing the boundaries of these registered historic sites, capturing important cultural resource information. A current, accurate spatial representation of all historic properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places within the SCTDD region. These data are of interest to Federal agencies, the National Park Service, State Historic and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, local government and certified local governments, consultants, academia, and the interested public. This interest stems from the regulatory processes of managing cultural resources that are consistent with the National Historic Preservation Act as Amended (NHPA), the National Environmental Policy Act as Amended, the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, and other laws related to cultural resources. The regulations promulgating these laws require the use of spatial data in support of various decisions and actions related to cultural resource management. Collectively, the National Register geo-spatial dataset is intended to be a comprehensive inventory of all cultural resources that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
