After having georeferenced and digitized the 1991 and 1880 maps of Georgetown, we can now point to a few pieces of spatial evidence of Georgetown’s decline in the twentieth century. If we wanted to pursue this line of study further, we could pair our GIS work with additional research done in other sources, thus effectively combining spatial and non-spatial perspectives of the topic.
