    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: General and zoning map for town of Wakefield Mass., plan prepared for Wakefield Town Planning Board ; Nov. 16, 1925, Arthur C. Comey, city planner. It was published in 1971. Scale [ca. 1:12,250]. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone (in Feet) (Fipszone 2001). All map collar and inset information is also available 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 map shows features such as roads, railroads, drainage, cities and other human settlements, territorial boundaries, shoreline features, and more. Includes also a handwritten note suggesting that the correction date is 1972. 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 originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

  18. Title: Twin Cities Historical Surface Waters Based on Original Public Land Survey Maps (1848 - 1858)

    Contributors:

    Summary: These shapefiles of lakes, streams, wetlands, river bottoms, and the Mississippi River represent the hydrological landscape of Minneapolis and St. Paul as recorded in the original public land survey conducted between 1848 and 1858. The features were digitized from scanned, georeferenced 1:24000 maps during the 2017 Faculty Research Sprint held at the University of Minnesota. Many streams and other hydrologic features that were present in the Twin Cities at the time of the original land survey were channelized, covered, or filled during the late 1800's. These features, however, still function as water conduits within the hydrology systems of urban water and have immense importance to the water regime in the Twin Cities. This data was generated as part of a larger "Lost Waters" research project - aiming to create a visible, physical representation of these waters in the current urban landscape.

  19. Title: LandScan Global Population Database 2013

    Contributors:

    Summary: This raster dataset contains population counts at 30 arc second resolution (1 km. or finer) for 2013. This release represents the fourteenth version of LandScan and succeeds all previous versions. Using an innovative approach with Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing, ORNL's LandScan is the community standard for global population distribution. At approximately 1 km resolution (30" X 30"), LandScan is the finest resolution global population distribution data available and represents an ambient population (average over 24 hours). The LandScan algorithm, an R&D 100 Award Winner, uses spatial data and imagery analysis technologies and a multi-variable dasymetric modeling approach to disaggregate census counts within an administrative boundary. Since no single population distribution model can account for the differences in spatial data availability, quality, scale, and accuracy as well as the differences in cultural settlement practices, There is also a layer file (lspop2012.lyr) for ArcGIS. This dataset is part of the LandScan global 2013. Developed for the U. S. Department of Defense. Allows for quick and easy assessment, estimation, and visualization of populations-at-risk. Bright, Edward A., Coleman, Phillip R., Rose, Amy N., and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. (2013) LandScan Global Population Database 2013. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, UT-Battelle, LLC. IMPORTANT: For correct population analysis using ESRI products assure that the following parameters are set:- Use ONLY Geographic, WGS84 projection parameters.- Spatial Analysis cell size is 0.008333333333333 (double precision)- Spatial Analysis extent should be set to an exact multiple of the cell size (for example 35.25, 35.50, 35.0)Converting (including on-the-fly projections) a grid to other projections or coordinate systems causes population cells to be re-sampled, and hence population counts will be incorrect.In ESRI ArcMap, load the LandScan grid first in order to maintain the original geographic (lat-lon) projection."The dataset has a spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds and is output in a geographical coordinate system - World Geodetic System (WGS) 84 datum. The 30 arc-second cell, or 0.008333333 decimal degrees, represents approximately 1 km2 near the equator. Since the data is in a spherical coordinate system, cell width decreases in a relationship that varies with the cosine of the latitude of the cell. Thus a cell at 60 degrees latitude would have a width that is half that of a cell at the equator (cos60 = 0.5). The height of the cells does not vary. The values of the cells are integer population counts, not population density, since the cells vary in size. Population counts are normalized to sum to each sub-national administrative unit estimate. For this reason, projecting the data in a raster format to a different coordinate system (including on-the-fly projections) will result in a re-sampling of the data and the integrity of normalized population counts will be compromised. Also prior to all spatial analysis, users should ensure that extents are set to an exact multiple of the cell size (for example 35.25, 35.50, 35.0) to avoid 'shifting' of the dataset." --from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory LandScan Web site, Sept. 12, 2013.
