You will notice that, in the Map view, the CensusCOH_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood layer HISTORIC_DISTRICTS layer is now drawn in on top of the MajorCOH_HISTORIC_RoadsSITESLANDMARKS layer, meaning that freeways historic sites are only visible in areas not covered by a super neighborhoodhistoric district.
