  6. Title: Chicago, Illinois, surficial geology, 1936 (Raster Image)

    • Raster data
    • 2008
    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic, paper map entitled: Surficial geology of the Chicago Loop quadrangle, by J. Harlen Bretz. It was published by State Geological Survey Division ca. 1936. Scale 1:24,000. Topographic base surveyed in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey, 1926; 1936. Geologically surveyed 1930-1932. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Illinois East State Plane Coordinate System NAD27 (in Feet) (Fipszone 1201). 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 is a typical topographic map colored to show surficial geology. It portrays both natural and manmade features. It shows and names works of nature, such as mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, vegetation, etc. It also identify the principal works of humans, such as roads, railroads, boundaries, transmission lines, major buildings, etc. Relief is shown with standard contour intervals of 5 feet. Includes legend and map index. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from The Harvard Map Collection as part of the Imaging the Urban Environment project. Maps selected for this project represent major urban areas and cities of the world, at various time periods. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features at a large scale. The selection represents a range of regions, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and purposes.

  7. Title: Public Highways Illinois 2008

    • Line data
    • 2008
    Contributors:

    Summary: This line data layer represents public highways for Illinois in 2008. The dataset was originally published by the Illinois Department of Transportation in 2008.[This coverage contains highway related information included in the IDOT Illinois Highway Information System (IHIS) --Illinois Roadway Information System (IRIS).  Information is collected for all public highways as defined in Illinois Compiled Statutes (605 ILCS 5/2-202).  A separate coverage is provided for each the 102 counties.]

  8. Title: County Boundary Lines Illinois 2003

    • Line data
    • 2003
    Contributors:

    Summary: This line data layer represents county boundaries for Illinois in 2003. The dataset was originally published by the Illinois State Geological Survey in June 2003.[This data set contains Illinois county boundary lines. The data were extracted from, and are redundant with, ISGS feature dataset IL_Public_Land_Survey_System. The data set is maintained as a separate entity for ease of query and display. The line attributes indicate which lines also form a portion of the state boundary. The nominal scale is 1:62,500. As of 2003, the data are typically distributed in geographic coordinates (longitude and latitude), decimal degrees, and the North American Datum (NAD) of 1983, and this is the default spatial reference of the ArcSDE feature dataset in which the data are stored. The data were originally developed, however, in a custom Lambert Conformal Conic projection and were distributed in that coordinate system for several years. The data were digitized in the late 1960s and in 1984-85 from 7.5- and 15-minute USGS topographic quadrangles. Errors in the location of a given feature are dependent on the accuracy of the original maps and on the accuracy of digitizing. Estimates are that features have an average locational error of at least plus/minus 100 feet.]

  10. Title: Generalized Railroads Illinois 1996

    • Line data
    • 1996
    Contributors:

    Summary: This line data layer represents generalized railroads for Illinois in 1996. The dataset was originally created by the Illinois State Geological Survey in 1996.[This arc coverage consists of line features that represent the general railroad infrastructure of Illinois. Most of these rail lines were active as of 1996. This information was derived from the US Geological Survey 1:100,000 Digital Line Graph files (transportation layer) and from the Illinois Railroad Map, published by the Illinois Department of Transportation (1994). This is not a complete representation of rail lines in Illinois. Several features are not included, such as (1) spur lines and rail yards in major metropolitan areas, other municipalities and industrial locations, (2) some lines less than 1-2 miles in length, and (3) ancillary tracks at junctions and other areas. The state boundary is not included in this data set.Arc segments are annotated with abbreviated railway designations. However, it is not known when these annotations were last updated and verified. It is suspected that several annotations may no longer properly reflect rail ownership.]

  11. Title: Interstates and Toll Roads Illinois 1996

    • Line data
    • 1996
    Contributors:

    Summary: This line data layer represents interstates and toll roads for Illinois in 1996. The dataset was originally created by the Illinois State Geological Survey in 1996.[This data set contains interstates and toll roads for Illinois. This is a subset of the roads data set stored by county. Note that the functional classification of roadways is the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation and is subject to change. Data are derived from the US Geological Survey 1:100,000 Digital Line Graph files, transportation layer, 1980-1986. Publication dates of the USGS maps used as sources range from 1980 to 1996. Major highways were updated as of 1996. The maximum estimated error in horizontal position based on National Map Accuracy Standards is 167 feet. Attributes include up to three interstate route numbers.]
