  1. Title: (Composite) Das Konigreich Bayern desseitz des Rheins, nach den topographischen Karten des Konigl. Bayr. Generalquartiermeisterstabes vom Jahr 1853, entw. u gezeichnet in IV Blatter vom Major C. Radefeld, 1858. Gest. v. Th. Macht ..., W. Feuerstein ..., C. Wedermann (with) Wurzburg. (with Umgebung von Regensburg). Stich, Druck und Verlag des Bibliographischen Instituts in Hildburghausen, (1860) (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of Germany showing the surroundings of Bamburg, Nuremburg, Regensburg, and Augsburg, published in 1860. The original map appears in "Grosser Hand - Atlas Uber Alle Theile Der Erde In 170 Karten. Herausgegeben von J. Meyer. Hildburghausen Verlag des Bibliographischen Instituts." The historic map layers in the Google Earth Rumsey Map Collection have been selected by David Rumsey from his large collection of historical maps, as well as some from other collections with which he collaborates. All the maps contain rich information about the past and represent a sampling of time periods, scales, and cartographic art, resulting in visual history stories that only old maps can tell. Each map has been georeferenced by Rumsey, thus creating unique digital map images that allow the old maps to appear in their correct places on the modern globe. Some of the maps fit perfectly in their modern spaces, while othersgenerally earlier period mapsreveal interesting geographical misconceptions of their time. Cultural features on the maps can be compared to the modern satellite views using the slider bars to adjust transparency. The result is an exploration of time as well as space, a marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with innovative contemporary software tools.

  2. Title: Munich, 1812 (Raster Image)

The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the WGS 1984 UTM Zone 32N (EPSG: 32632) coordinate system. All map features and collar and inset information are shown as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of geographies, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

  11. Title: Endemic Bird Areas in Kenya, 1998

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) in Kenya. EBAs are sites where two or more bird species of "restricted range" (less than 50,000 sq km) occur together in the same area. Most of Kenya’s EBAs are located outside of parks and other protected areas, and all overlap or border densely settled, intensively farmed landscapes. This data was used in Map 5.3 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Stattersfield, A.J., M.J. Crosby, A.J. Long, and D.C. Wege. (1998). Endemic Bird Areas in Kenya, 1998. BirdLife International. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/zr892st5071 Please note that this data is frequently updated.
