Kansas Cultural Resources GIS
Barry WilliamsStephen Thompson
In 1996 the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), Kansas State Historical Society and Kansas State University at Salina (KSU) began a project to implement a comprehensive State-wide cultural resources GIS. Office reviews of proposed projects are accomplished by investigating microfilmed county atlases, Government Land Office (GLO) records, inventory files containing the locations of over 11,000 archaeological sites and 25,000 extant structures, and locations of all previous archaeological and built environmental surveys. Through the GIS the Society will be able to provide information to appropriate entities on the locations of these cultural resources in a manner that is both more accurate and more cost effective.
