Description: | In March 2001, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) finalized its Potential Archeological Liability Map (PALM) GIS database for the Houston area. Begun in 1998, the Houston-PALM is a planning tool that predicts areas where highway projects are likely to encounter prehistoric archeological sites with sufficient integrity to make them eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. TxDOT's Houston District can distribute information from the PALM database via CD-ROM or printouts. The Houston-PALM can be used in conjunction with the Texas Historical Commission's Historic Sites Atlas database, which provides web-based access to all recorded information on historic structures, historic markers, and archeological sites statewide. While both the Houston-PALM and the Atlas allow identification of potential conflicts during the project planning phase, access to the location of archeological sites is restricted by law to cultural resource professionals. In 2003, TxDOT will finalize the development of the Houston Historic Overlay, which compliments the Houston-PALM. This database will map the location of buildings and structures in areas of the district that were not urbanized by 1936, which will allow transportation planners to anticipate the likelihood of encountering historic archeological sites in project areas. In addition, TxDOT is currently developing a PALM database for the Fort Worth area. | |
