Required Fields (*)
*
*
- Enter the name of the county wherein
the site lies.
- Upon receipt of the form, SHPO staff will contact the recorder
with a site number. The Smithsonian number consists of a state numerical
designation (Missouris #23), a two-letter designation for the county,
and a numerical designation for the site. This number is assigned
by SHPO on a site by site basis. If the site is located in more
than one county, a site number will be assigned for each county.
- Enter local name
designation for the site and/or any temporary numbers assigned in
the field.
4-6. TOWNSHIP, RANGE, SECTION:
On a U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle map, the township number,
(e.g. Township 68 North) for example, is printed along the left
and right sides of the map. The distance from a base line and a
principal meridian designates townships. These are arbitrary lines
that run east/west (base lines) and north/south (principal meridians).
The range number, (e.g. ) for example, is printed along the top
and bottom of the map.
Sections are the basic unit within the Township and Range system,
a section is a square tract of one mile by one mile containing about
640 acres. On a U.S.G.S. topographic map, the section numbers appear
near the center of each section and all of these are printed in
red. Parcels of land known as arpent sections or French arpent land
grants pre-date the Public Land Survey feet, and a square arpent
(also referred to as an arpent) is about 0.84 acres. These areas
are given numbers just like standard sections, although the section
numbers frequently exceed normal upper limit of 36.
GRANT
7.
- Record the name of the map
used to describe the site location. This information is printed
in the upper and lower right corners of U.S.G.S. topographic maps.
- Record the date on the map
used to describe the site location. This information is printed
in the lower right corner of the U.S.G.S. topographic maps.
- Provide the approximate
area of the site in square meters and provide method used to figure
(taped, paced, etc.).
11-13. UTM ZONE, EASTING AND NORTHING: The Universal Transverse
Mercator system is a metric grid based on predetermined zones. The
zone number for a U.S.G.S. topographic map is found in the lower
left corner of the map. Most of Missouri lies within zone 15. The
tickmarks that go around the border of the map mark 1000 meter increments
east and north of that zones western and southern baselines. An
example of a UTM coordinate is zone 15 4263738mN (Northing) 573024Me
(Easting).
14. - North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27) control points
were calculated from observations taken in the 1800s. The calculations
were done manually, in sections, over many years, and errors vary
from station to station. The primary reference is located at Meades
Ranch in Kansas. Use of this datum is gradually being replaced by
the North American Datum of 1983.
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) is an earth-centered datum
based on the Geodetic Reference System of 1980. The size and shape
of the earth was determined through measurements by satellites and
other sophisticated electronic equipment; the measurements Accurately
represent the earth to within two meters.
The differences between NAD27 and NAD 83 range from 200-300 feet
in the western US to several tens of feet in the central and eastern
US.
- The National Register criteria are designed to guide state and
local governments, federal agencies and others in evaluating potential
entries to the National Register of Historic Places. The significance
to American history of architecture, archaeology, engineering and
culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures and
objects that possess an integrity of location, design, setting,
materials, workmanship, feeling and association, and:
- That are associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or
- That are associated with the lives of significant person in
our past; or
- That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period
or method of construction; that represent the work of a master;
that possess high artistic values; or that represent a significant
and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual
distinction; or
- That have yielded or may be likely to yield information important
in history or prehistory
- Provide
the name of the landowner on whose property the site is located
and the address of the property.
- Provide
the names of any tenants on the property and their address.
- Provide date
upon which the information on the form was current.
- Provide
name and address of person recording site.
- Provide name
of recording organization.
- Provide the
condition of the site at the time you visited it. For example, if
the site is heavily disturbed or eroded, state this and be as specific
as possible (plowing, vandalism, etc.). This line should be updated
in any subsequent reports if the site's condition should change.
22. CULTURAL AFFILIATION - SELECT ALL COMPONENTS
PRESENT (Explanation of historical periods.)
Explanation for Historical Periods
- Colonial (1700-1803) - under control of European powers.
- Territorial (1804-1820) - under U.S. control. Also period of
unrest with various tribes, War of 1812, population levels low
until after 1816.
- Antebellum (1821-1861) - starting with MO statehood, could move
this back to 1816/1817, prior to statehood. Expansion of agriculture
and major influx of people from Upper South and immigrants from
Europe.
- Civil War (1861-1865) - although a short time, war did have
drastic effects on communications/travel/commerce/agriculture.
- Early Industrial (1866-1899) - movement towards mechanization
not only in industry, but in agriculture as well.
- Urban/Industrial (1900-1960) - economic depression of 1890s
especially hit agriculture hard, forced many people off farms
and into city factories. Impact of increased mechanization and
development of motorized vehicles/roads on both rural and urban
populations.
