New Deal Map Information
The New Deal benefitted every state, and nearly every city and town, across the United States, and most of the infrastructure built in the 1930s is still in use today. Our goal is to inventory and map all New Deal public works across the nation. We want to involve Americans in a collective rediscovery of what New Deal agencies did to extricate this country from the Great Depression and lay the foundation for postwar prosperity.
Here’s what you can do with the Living New Deal map search function:
- Find all New Deal projects near you
- Find specific projects by name
- Find projects by type: purpose, agency or artist
- e.g., all CCC or WPA sites, all schools, all murals
- Do combined searches by place and by type
You can also help build the Living New Deal map for your community:
- Send photos of New Deal sites near you
- Submit information about buildings, places, artworks, etc.
- and stories about the people who made them.
- Check our documentation of sites to see if it’s complete
