Why we Need to Review Cultural Resources?

• In its preface to the National Historic
  Preservation Act of 1966, Congress declared that
  the preservation of historic properties "is in
  the public interest so that its vital legacy of
  cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational,
  economic, and energy benefits will be maintained
  and enriched for future generations of
  Americans."

Step Two Finding Quadrangle Information

• Legal description information can be found on US
  Geological Survey quadrangle maps. If you are
  unsure about the quadrangle name for your project
  area
• Access the USGS Map Locator and Downloader at the
  following address http//store.usgs.gov/b2c_usg
  s/b2c/start/(xcmr3standardpitrex_prd)/.do
• On the left side of the page, choose Map Locator
  and Downloader. (Circled in red.)
• In the Search Box, type in the City Name and
  State and click GO.
• The site will redirect to a Google map that will
  show the quadrangle name for the area entered.

Step Two Finding Quadrangle Information Cont.

• For this example, we searched for Cleveland, MO.
  The program places a red marker representing the
  city on the map.
• Zoom in on the red marker for your project area,
  as shown in the picture to the right.
• To see the map products available for
  downloading, click on the marker. These maps are
  very large, so they take some time to download.
• Paper maps can also be ordered from MDNR. These
  maps can be ordered online from MDNR at Online
  order form for 7.5 min maps

Step Two Project Description

• In this section, applicants should describe the
  facility, such as beginning and ending point,
  side of the street, and width of the facility,
  etc. This information is shown in the example
  below.

This project will construct new sidewalks and
rebuild the existing sidewalks on the north side
and south side of Main Street/State Highway Y.
North Side Trail Ridge Pass to 5th Street and
3rd Street to just short of the rail road right
of way. South Side West of 5th Street near a
nursing home facility to just short of the
railroad right of way.   North Side The
existing sidewalks between 3rd Street and RR
right of way are 4-ft wide. The proposed
sidewalks will be 5-ft wide in accordance with
ADA. In the sections without existing sidewalks,
the proposed sidewalks will be 5-ft wide in
accordance with ADA.   South Side The existing
sidewalks between 5th Street and 3rd Street are
4-ft wide. The proposed sidewalks will be 4 to
5-ft wide in accordance with ADA. The existing
sidewalks between 3rd Street and RR right of way
are approximately 7.5-ft wide. The proposed
sidewalks will remain 7 to 8-ft wide. The
improvements include replacing the existing
ramp/stairs at city hall in accordance to with
ADA standards. Regarding the sections without
existing sidewalks, the proposed sidewalks will
be 5ft wide.
