Welcome!

A blog is admittedly not  the best way to organize a database. Still, it'll suffice. To start browsing, cast your eyes to the left, then click the link labeled "The Directory." For an explanation of this project, as well as sourcing (and other various and sundry things), click "About." . . . Much of the Ohio-specific data I've collected is available here , in the form of a handy ArcGIS webmap.
