7) Groups of educational buildings and their associated spaces (school and university campuses, etc.) 8) Extensive constructed landscapes, such as large parks, that represent the work of a master landscape architect or the concepts and directions of of a school of landscape architecture. 9) Landscapes that have been shaped by historical processes of land use and retain visual and cultural characteristics indicative of such processes. Why undertake a su1'>vey? The increasing competition for land use and uncertain economies of rural and urban areas in the State leave the survival of many prehistoric and historic resources in serious doubt. Although new construction will inevitably replace some of these resources, the completion of a survey can lead to the development of a preservation plan that takes into account the relative significance of all ~istorically and architecturally significant buildings, sites, residential neighborhoods, and rural and urban spaces. A preservation plan can help channel growth into the least sensitive areas of the environment and limit the loss of valuable resources. In addition to serving as planning tools, surveys can help in locating potential Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks and State Archeological Landmarks. These designations, as well as National Register multiple property nominations, can make those same properties eligible for economic benefits, such as tax credits, and State and federal grants for historic preservation. Whatre the products of a completed survey? 1) A typewritten Texas Historic Sites Inventory Form or its approved equivalent or State of Texas Archeological Site Data Form of every prehistoric or historic property in the survey area. (See Appendices A & B) 2) Negatives of all surveyed sites with proper identification of each view. These may be either 4" X 5" or 35mm format. If 35mm format is used, each roll of film must be accompanied by one contact sheet and one completed Photo Index sheet (See Appendix B). In addition, 35mm slides of all high priority properties and representative streetscapes are required. 3) Detailed maps that identify the location of all surveyed properties and districts. Local maps with building footprints or USGS 7.5 series maps may be used to clearly identify surveyed sites and their site numbers. If USGS maps are used these will be provided by the THC (See Appendix C). For archeological surveys, USGS maps must be used and must clearly identify all site locations with trinomial numbers. 4) Two copies of a final report which outlines the survey's purpose and methods, and makes recommendations for local, state, and federal historical designation and other appropriate preservation measures. This report must be in conformance with Federal Register, Volume 48, No. 190. (Available from the THC) 4
