Georeferenced Maps from The Digital Blue Ridge Parkway

Selected maps from the The Digital Blue Ridge Parkway project were georeferenced in order to provide the interactive Maps feature of the digital collection.

This site provides access to these georeferenced maps in a format suitable for use in Geographic Information System (GIS) software.
The georeferenced maps are packaged in zip files, accompanied by a readme.txt file and metadata.

"The Digital Blue Ridge Parkway" was funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the State Library of North Carolina.
