Youth Neighborhood Mapping Initiative

Peabody Vance Interactive Maps

This page contains a series of interactive maps created by the Youth Neighborhood Mapping Team that highlight cultural assets in the Peabody Vance area. To view these maps, you'll need to install a map viewer called ArcReader so that you can turn on and off layers, zoom in, and follow the links to photos and websites.

Preparing to View the Maps

Installing ArcReader

If you do not have ArcReader (version 9.2), follow these steps to download it:

1. Right click on the “ArcReader” and select “save as.” Save the file to your computer. (The file might take about 10 minutes to download, so get it started and take a little coffee break.)

2. Open the “ArcReader92” folder and double click on the “setup” application

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the program.

(You can also download the software directly from the source at http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcreader/download.html. Click on “download ArcReader 9.2…,” save the file to your computer and follow the directions above.)

Downloading and Viewing the Maps

Once you've installed ArcReader, follow these steps to download and view the maps:

1. Right click on “pv_maps” and select “save target as.” Save the “pv_maps” folder to your computer

2. Unzip the “pv_maps” folder and save the entire “pv_maps” folder to your C\: drive (sometimes labeled “Local Disk C:”).

3. Open the “pv_maps” folder on your C\: drive. Inside the folder you will see a set of subfolders and three interactive maps: “view_vance_pontotoc_district,” “view_national_register,” and “view_assets_map.”

4. Double click on any of the interactive maps to open them in ArcReader.
