[Igcm] GIS Website - November 2017 Map of the Month

[Idaho Geospatial Council Membership]

The November "Map of the Month" has been posted to the GIS website (along with maps previously posted to the site) and can now be viewed at:  http://gis.idaho.gov/portal/maps/gallery.html


This month's StoryMap was sent to us by Bryan Krouse at College of Western Idaho (CWI) and features an overview and general findings of the five-year-long Petroglyph Recording Project conducted by the Anthropology Club at the College of Western Idaho in collaboration with Canyon County Parks, Cultural and Natural Resources from 2013-2017. This map serves as a virtual scrapbook of the dozens of students who were responsible for documenting and mapping petroglyphs located at two distinct sites along the Snake River Basin of Southwestern Idaho. Over the course of four field campaigns, students photographed, gridded, sketched, and mapped GPS coordinates of petroglyphs (images pecked into stone). Due to the sensitive nature of rock art, the exact locations of the petroglyphs are not made available to the public via the StoryMap, however scholars or students interested in exploring this research further may contact Nikki Gorrell, Project Director and Assistant Professor of Anthropology at College of Western Idaho (contact info listed in the StoryMap).



Enjoy!
