Using historical maps, aerial photographs, field examinations, title searches, and archived and published documents, HRA historians trace the background of important sites. These include public and private lands, disputed roadways, Indian reservations, water sources, and historic travel corridors.

We provide public and private clients with research, analysis, and reports to address issues such as land ownership, the uses and locations of historic roadways or travel corridors, boundary locations, and water use.

Our thoroughly documented land use histories serve a wide variety of purposes, from supporting litigation to the creation of interpretive signage, walking tours, website content, and engaging exhibits.

Our services include:

• Land title research
• Historical map review
