Description:

Abstract:

This feature class entitled "BUILDINGS" shows digitized buildings from two Sanborn Maps (14A and 14B) made in the early 20th century of Charlottesville, Virginia.

Purpose:

The digitized maps were created for the use of Albemarle County Historical Society (ACHS) in Virginia for a number of different GIS applications, such as: land use change studies, genealogy, and city visualization.
