  1. Title: International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean, 30 Arc-Second Resolution GeoTIFF (Version 3.0)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image (GeoTIFF) of a digital bathymetric model (DBM) of the Arctic Ocean compiled with all multibeam, dense single beam, and land data added at a resolution of 30 x 30 arc seconds. This is a reprojected version (WGS84) of the 500 meter resolution data layer. The original (DBM) was compiled with all multibeam, dense single beam and land data added at 500 x 500 m resolution in a final step using the remove-restore method. Data were compiled from several multibeam cruises in the region dating from 1994 to 2011. The goal of this initiative is to develop a digital data base that contains all available bathymetric data north of 64° North, for use by mapmakers, researchers, institutions, and others whose work requires a detailed and accurate knowledge of the depth and the shape of the Arctic seabed.

  3. Title: Vasserot Censives (1810-1836)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains the censives (territories ruled by lords) in Paris, France as represented in Philibert Vasserot's Atlas of Paris (1810-1836). From the Middle Ages until the Revolution, land in Paris was divided between many lordships. Lords, or seigneurs, who granted tenure for plots of land (censives) to owners through imposition of a annual fee (cens). Censives granted certain rights to the seigneur, such as rights of land transfer and political authority over roads and courts. The public roads indicated in Vasserot's map have been excluded from the censives. The ALPAGE programme aims to provide collaborative tools for the Humanities and Social Sciences and for Information Communication Technology (ICT) allowing for the development of research about the Parisian urban area. This aim is achieved by means of a GIS that includes cadastral and historical layers. Arch. nat. F31 73-96 – Arch. Paris © ALPAGE. B. Bove, 2011.

  4. Title: Censives, Paris, France (According to Plans Terriers), 18th Century

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains the censives (territories ruled by a lord) in Paris, France during the 18th century. Source data were gathered from terrier plans (record systems for property holdings) kept by landlords. From the Middle Ages until the Revolution, land in Paris was divided between many lordships. Lords, or seigneurs, granted tenure for plots of land (censives) to owners through imposition of a annual fee (cens). Censives granted certain rights to the seigneur, such as rights of land transfer and political authority over roads and courts.

  5. Title: ALPAGE

    Contributors:

    Summary: ALPAGE is a geohistorical platform about Paris. Based on a work dynamic initiated in 2006 with support from the French National Research Agency (ANR) this work then continued on beyond the funded phase (2006-2010). The initial project brought together twenty researchers in Social and Human Sciences and in Information and Communication Technology. Coordinated by Hélène Noizet, these historians, geomaticians and computer scientists have laid the foundations of a Geographic Information System (GIS) of the pre-industrial Parisian area. The spatial reference data, produced for the beginning of the 19th century and for the medieval period, have been made freely available online on a webmapping platform and is also available for download. A considerable amount of data has been produced not only on the medieval period but also on the modern period and on the 19th century. As regards to the geographical scale of the project, which remains limited to Paris, a partnership with the programme Archéologies du Bassin Parisien of the UMR 7041 ArScAn has enabled access to geohistorical frameworks across the Parisian basin.

The pasted wasp image appears within a hand-drawn polygon, measuring approximately 3.25" x 3.25". A second hand-drawn polygon, filled in with black ink and measuring approximately 3" x 2.25", appears in the center-right portion of the map. Caption: The words "4 col tonite Don McClane" appear at the bottom center of the map. It is unclear at this time whether the words are related to the map content.
