Cultural landmarks
This map shows some of the significant cultural landmarks on Yap, specifically traditional buildings (p'eebaay, faeluw, or others), dancing grounds, and fish weirs. The map and the data behind it utilize information provided by Yap traditional owners and knowledge holders. The dataset was created by the Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2019) by combining various data layers created by the Queens University of Charlotte, Yap Historic Preservation Office, and Yap Traditional Owners based on field work conducted in 2002 and 2003 as well as on on-screen digitizing of 1983 USGS topographic maps. The fish weir dataset was created by the Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2019) based on tabular data provided by Dr. William F. Jeffery, who led the project financed with Yap State historic preservation funds in partnership with US National Park Service, US Department of the Interior. The information contained within is not complete and is subject to updating and appending as opportunities permit.
