Usage guide: Drag and scroll on the map to move and zoom in on areas of interest, hover over map features to see more information, and click on sites in the table below to highlight them on the map.

Click on table headers or the arrows next to them to sort the data by that column – holding the shift key allows sorting over multiple columns.
