The basic premise of the cultural resources
assessment was to identify the relative value
and importance of lands with associated cultural
resources in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Lands were ranked relative to the importance
of the cultural site, feature or area as expressed
by state or federal designation.

There were five categories of cultural sites,
features or areas assessed in the model: National
Historic Landmarks, National Historic Districts,
National Historic Register Sites, state inventoried
sites and archaeological sites. The model
integrates the selected data sets, maps the
coincident areas important for cultural resources
and scores 3 square km grid cells based on a
weighted ranking.
