  1. Title: Rhode Island, 1795 (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: A map of the state of Rhode Island, taken mainly from surveys by Caleb Harris ; Harding Harris, delineavt. ; Saml. Hill, sculpt. It was published in 1795 by Carter & Wilkinson. Scale [ca. 1:160,000]. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Rhode Island State Plane Coordinate System (Feet) (FIPS 3800). 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, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as roads, drainage, county and town boundaries and more. Relief shown by hachures. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps of New England from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of regions, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

  6. Title: A view of the world in divers projections

    Contributors:

    Summary: World map on an oval projection. Relief shown pictorially. Includes ancillary maps of the two polar hemispheres and and a twin-hemispherical world map. Includes 10 astronomical diagrams: Ptolemy's system -- Copernic system -- Tycho's system -- The face of the sun / by Fa. Kircher -- Saturn / by Mr. Hook -- Mars / by Cassini -- Jupiter / by Mr. Hook -- The face of the moon -- The sun enlightening the earth -- The sun enlightening the moon, the moon enlightening the earth. Above neat line of map: This projection by equidistant meridians & parallels shews the naturall bearing, distance & proportion of countryes more exactly then that wherein ye distance of the meridians & parallels differ as they do in the stereographick projections, as may be seen above by the two smaller hemispheres.
