Greenville Sanborn Map

For this assignment, the class was expected to georeference one of the historical Sanborn maps and create feature classes pertaining to the different structures that could be found within it. For my project, I worked on a map of the southern portion of Greenville and worked on two blocks along Pendleton St.

Overall, the skills I used were effective in outlining these couple blocks, but I was inhibited by knowledge of the Sanborn map notations and how they were used to denote changes in story height within a single building. For instance, I had to label some buildings as two stories despite there being what could possibly be a patio or just a single floor. In addition, my georeferencing, admittedly, was not wholly accurate as a I struggled to find a way to best align the wider, historic roads with the more narrow, modern ones. As for my legend, I also struggled to remove the RGB values that were used to denote the overlayed historic map.
