Locate every site on the United States National Register of Historic Places!
The United States National Register of Historic Places contains over 85,000 entries, each a site that has been designated as having historic value. That means that no matter where you travel in the country you are almost certainly near one or more sites on the Register. Finding those sites can be difficult! Most are not marked with any kind of signage, and there is no map showing of them. Historic Sites: USA solves that problem!
Historic Sites: USA presents the standard Apple Map, with sites in the National Register of Historic Places marked on the map at their location. For any locale you choose or for the ara around your current location, you can see what historic sites are nearby.
You can use it in two ways:
- "Search and Locate" mode: Search for historic sites by state, by city or by name, or any combination of those three. You'll get a list of all the sites matching your search criteria. From that list you can see more information about a site, or you can tap a site and the map will center itself on the site you selected.
- "While You're Moving" mode: As you drive or walk, the map will show your current location and any historic sites in the area. You can zoom the map to cover a small area or larger areas around your current position. You can get more information and a picture (if it's available) for any site on the map just by touching the site marker.
With Historic Sites: USA, you'll be able to locate sites on the United States National Register of Historic Places while you're planning a trip, and find them as your travels. Cool, eh?
