Field notes
The catalog offers both list and map views, with filters for territory, route, and historical period. Its entries pair short site-specific histories with counts of supporting facts and photos; the Xavier listing, for example, notes five photos and twelve historical facts. The homepage also addresses municipalities and regional councils with an invitation to commission a reconstruction.
