This feature class is for the use of recording cultural resource geospatial data for resources classified as historic structures, buildings, objects, sites, survey, district, or other. Olmsted Center derived data in this feature class from data collected data in the field or digitized remotely for the Morristown National Historical Park Mutiny Trail Technical Assistance Project. Attribute data in this feature class are intentionally limited to those necessary for spatial data maintenance and feature level metadata necessary to document the lineage of the geography itself. Information about the genesis of individual features is documented by feature level metadata fields in the spatial attribute table. Only unrestricted locations of resources should be recorded and included in this feature class, and identified in the feature level metadata. Release of locational information for cultural resources are subject to the provisions of Section 304 of the National Historic Preservation Act as Amended and Section (9)(a)(2) of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act as Amended. The metadata in the feature attribute table are compliant with the National Park Service’s Cultural Resource Spatial Data Transfer Standards. These standards were created to facilitate the exchange of spatial data within a variety of contexts, particularly Sections 106 and 110 of NHPA as well as in the context of disaster recovery events. Often locations of National Register listed properties and other historic resources eligible for the National Register are needed in these situations.
