For the 250th anniversery of America (honestly, vomit) the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Natural Areas and Preserves is reconstructing the maps and transcribing surveyor notes from the 1800s to create an interactive map of Ohio's presettlememt habitats.

I'll be sure to post an update once the map is out.

This is actually super valuable for ecological restoration projects - knowing what plant communities were native to an area before colonization helps us rebuild healthier ecosystmes.
