Title: Topographical map of the Yosemite Valley and vicinity (Raster Image)
Contributors:- Raster data
- 2015
- Not owned by MIT (Owned by Stanford)
Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of the Yosemite Valley in California, originally created by Geographical Surveys West of the 100th Meridian in 1883. The map appears in "Geographical Surveys West of the 100th Meridian (U.S.). Topographical atlas projected to illustrate explorations and surveys west of the 100th meridian of longitude."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.

Title: USA (Core Based Statistical Areas CBSA, 2003)
Contributors:- Polygon data
- 2008
Summary: The United States Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) Boundaries data set contains the boundaries for metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas in the United States. The data set contains information on location, identification, and size. The database includes metropolitan and micropolitan boundaries within all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.Combined statistical areas are groupings of adjacent metropolitan and/or micropolitan statistical areas that have social and economic ties as measured by commuting to work, but at lower levels than are found among counties within individual metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. Combined statistical areas can be characterized as representing larger regions that reflect broader social and economic interactions, such as wholesaling, commodity distribution, and weekend recreation activities, and are likely to be of considerable interest to regional authorities and the private sector. Each metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area consists of a core area containing a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. Metropolitan statistical areas contain at least one U.S. Census Bureau-defined urbanized area of 50,000 or more population; micropolitan statistical areas contain at least one Census Bureau-defined urban cluster of at least 10,000 and less than 50,000 population. If specified criteria are met, a metropolitan statistical area containing a single urbanized area with a population of 2.5 million or more may be subdivided into metropolitan divisions, which function as distinct social and economic areas within the larger metropolitan statistical area.
