Heritage Mapping

Heritage mapping is a process that identifies, documents, and presents areas of historical, cultural, or environmental significance within a community. It involves creating visual representations, like maps, to highlight important sites, landmarks, and landscapes that contribute to a group's identity and history. This practice helps raise awareness of cultural heritage, supports preservation efforts, and fosters a sense of connection among community members. By showcasing these valuable resources, heritage mapping aids in maintaining traditions and appreciating diverse backgrounds while informing planning and development decisions.
