Mapping Memory: Explore the Ohio’s Revolutionary War Veterans Graves Project

Posted July 25, 2025

Interactive Live Results Dashboard Features

Live Survey Submissions
Thanks to integration with Survey123, a mobile app from Esri, submissions from Public Researchers appear on the dashboard as soon as they’re documented. This allows contributors to see the impact of their work in real time.

Explore the Map
At the center of the Dashboard is the Live Results Map, pinpointing burial sites across the state. Markers represent each Revolutionary War veteran’s grave and cemetery documented by Public Researchers. Users can zoom into counties, cities, or even individual cemeteries.

Search and Filter Options
Looking for someone or something specific? Use the built-in search bars to look up veterans or cemeteries by name or filter all results by county. This makes it easy to avoid duplicating survey work—or to identify where help is still needed.

Dynamic Information Panels
The dashboard’s sidebar displays real-time metrics that show the project's progress, including total number of veteran grave sites and cemeteries documented.

How You Can Participate

Anyone can join the project as a Public Researcher - no special skills or training are needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
