Field notes

The project organizes one West Virginia farm as a layered geographic record rather than a conventional property page. Its stated source stack includes USGS 3DEP 1 m LiDAR, the 1967 Gilboa historic quadrangle, USDA SSURGO soils, and USGS GNIS place names. Readers can move among the map, poster, documentation, and narrative views, with the map describing boundaries and features such as gas wells, coal, and water.
