These are maps and notes put together by members of the CAG Archeology Committee highlighting sites and issues of historical importance that should be considered during remediation design of the Canals cleanup.

Prepared by Angela Murphy, Lizzie Olesker and Eymund Diegel from Proteus Hall of the Gowanus and Grassroots Mapping community resources.
