Preservation status

The AP reported that this site was listed in 1976 on the Washington Heritage Register. However it does not show up in a search of the DAHP database, and in fact appears only to have been recently nominated, as footnoted. It was also reported that the tribe was trying to get it NRHP listed, but this might also refer mistakenly to the state DAHP nomination. — Brianhe (talk) 01:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Another map

edit
 
Location of Tamanowas Rock, with locator of Jefferson County

I made up a map for this but I'm not sure what the best approach for these is, or where we want to lay out the maps in the articles. Ideally we'd like to use SVG maps generated from the infobox, but we don't have base maps for every county in Washington. I'd love for someone to teach me how we create these. Let me know if I should tweak it. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:25, 26 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I looked once and it seemed to be a XML declaration of the map corners plus associated graphics. It was documented but not very author-friendly. And I'm not sure anymore where it was. Brianhe (talk) 18:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
I know what you mean; I got that to work. But you still need the underlying SVG map to zoom into a smaller scale than the state. As far as I can tell, someone is making those with Adobe Illustrator. They claim free tools for making these maps exist, but I've seen no evidence anyone has got them to work to make an actual image. I think there were only two counties in Washington that had maps. Otherwise you have to cluster points on the large map of Washington, which is what we have right now. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:37, 26 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
