Abstract

Abstract: Hamilton Center Rural Cemetery is a historic cemetery dating from 1804 and containing the graves of multiple American Revolutionary War veterans.  The student on this project will spend time ascertaining the plots in Hamilton Center Rural Cemetery, reconciling that information through various records, and designing the geodatabase that best details the information.  The student will then spend the rest of the summer filling in the geodatabase and creating a usable map for the Town of Hamilton, taking geospatial data from a variety of sources.  Depending on Town of Hamilton needs and student flexibility, multiple applications might be utilized to produce a final product that might be used in the future for reference and further expansion of the cemetery.
