Interactive Tour 2.2
After a year of pursuing information and three months of looking over historical texts and maps, almost 100 historical places have been engineered into the latest build of the Interactive Tour, stepping up the version to 2.2. The Historic Douglas County map, by the Historical Society of Douglas County, provided the stepping stone of documenting locations early on last year.
It was discovered then that the historical map was somewhat inaccurate. Through a little guess work, late nights and luck, Losing Georgia is providing a fairly comprehensive list that pinpoints historical places to their true geographical location and photographs depicting each site (more photographs will be added).
Currently the areas of concentration are urban/rural Douglas County, the former City of Lithia Springs, and the City of Douglasville (limited). Information provided includes a National Register of Historical Places Number (if applicable), Georgia Historic Resource Number (if applicable), architectural style (if applicable), street address, brief history and resources sited.
Eventually I would like to include the City of Villa Rica, correctly locate each site with GPS coordinates and expand the historic record to include the original Campbell County. The main difficulty with the historical section of the Project is gaining access to historical sites that are on private land. I hope everyone enjoys this edition of the Interactive Tour; it has been a very educational experience.
Nice job on the new update. the historical stuff is excellent. good work, keep it up.
