Featured sites have been selected by the Catena project team based on the amount of literature and the number of image resources available to the project.

Each featured site is explicated by means of an interpretive text, an interactive plan, historical documentation, and a short bibliography. This core set of resources will function as a starting point for instructors wishing to teach a class or segment on a particular landscape site, but may also be used by students working on directed research projects.
