Most small American cities have no GIS at all. Zoning is a PDF, the ward map is a photocopy, and the answer to “who owns that lot?” lives in a courthouse filing cabinet. Palimap builds the whole picture — as one living, public map. And underneath it, where the records survive, the historic town shows through: the name is palimpsest + map, a surface written on repeatedly where the earlier writing still shows.
