Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>U.S. Geographic Names Information System Cemeteries represents the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature and contains information about the proper names and locations of physical and cultural geographic features located throughout the United States and its Territories. The U.S. Geological Survey developed the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, a Federal inter-agency body chartered by public law to maintain uniform feature name usage throughout the Government and to promulgate standard names to the public.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>This feature class describes properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, classified as historic districts, and depicted as points. The National Register of Historic Places requires the submission of a single UTM coordinate pair for properties, including districts, under 10 acres. A district possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development. Districts include: college campuses, central business districts, residential areas, commercial areas, large forts, industrial complexes, civic centers, rural villages, canal systems, collections of habitation and limited activity sites, irrigation systems, large farms, ranches, estates, plantations, transportation networks and large landscaped parks. Attribute data in this dataset are intentionally limited to those necessary for spatial data maintenance and feature level metadata necessary to document the lineage of the geography itself. Data from external database systems, such as the National Register Information System, are intended to link with these data to provide basic feature attributes. The means to maintain unique identifiers for each historic site (CR_ID), Survey_ID, as well as unique geometries associated with that feature (Geometry_ID) are through the use of Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) assigned by the database. Information about the genesis of individual points is documented by feature level metadata fields in the spatial attribute table.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

The National Register of Historic Places requires the submission of a single UTM coordinate pair for properties under 10 acres. A building, such as a house, barn, church, hotel, or similar construction, is created principally to shelter any form of human activity. A building may also be used to refer to a historically and functionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or a house and barn. Buildings include: houses, barns, stables, sheds, garages, courthouses, city halls, social halls, commercial buildings, libraries, factories, mills, train depots, stationary mobile homees, hotels, theaters, schools, stores and churches.

The National Register of Historic Places requires the submission of a single UTM coordinate pair for properties under 10 acres. A structure is a building whose functional construction is made usually for purposes other than creating human shelter. Structures include: bridges, tunnels, gold dredges, firetowers, canals, turbines, dams, power plants, corncribs, silos, roadways, shot towers, windmills, grain elevators, kilns, mounds, cairns, palisade fortifications, earthworks, railroad grades, systems of roadways and paths, boats and ships, railroad locomotives and cars, telescopes, carousels, bandstands, gazebos and aircraft.

The National Register of Historic Places requires the submission of a single UTM coordinate pair for properties under 10 acres. A site is the location of a significant event, a prehistoric or historic occupation or activities, or a building or structure, whether standing, ruined or vanished, where the location itself possess historic, cultural or archaeological value regardless of the value of any existing structure. Sites include: habitation sites, rock shelters, village sites, ceremonial sites, petroglyphs, gardens, grounds, battlefields, ruins of historic buildings and structures, campsites, areas of land, shipwrecks, cemeteries, designed landscapes, archaeological sites and landscapes having cultural significance.
