Mapping Route 66 Past & Present

Williams, Arizona, United States
Online

In partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, we’re excited to bring you a Mappy Hour on November 11th, the 100th anniversary of Route 66! We’ll learn from NTHP staff about their efforts to document and preserve Route 66, and offer three breakout rooms to get involved with different mapping projects featuring the historic highway:

1. Mapping Williams, Arizona on OpenHistoricalMap (intermediate)
2. Georeferencing historic photos of Route 66 on Yesterdays (beginner)
3. Mapping present-day neon signs along Route 66 in OSM (intermediate)

We hope you’ll join us for this mappy celebration on November 11th at 8:00pm Eastern! As always, registration is free. Be on the lookout for a confirmation email with the Zoom link once you are registered.
