  4. Title: Boundary between the United States and Mexico by the International Boundary Survey under the Convention of July 29th 1882, Revived February 18th 1889. Engraved by R.F. Bartle & Co., Washington, D.C., U.S.A. No. 3 (Raster Image)

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of the boundary between the United States and Mexico. The original map appears in "Boundary between the United States and Mexico by the International Boundary Survey under the Convention of July 29th 1882, Revived February 18th 1889. Engraved by R.F. Bartle & Co., Washington, D.C., U.S.A. No. 3." U.S. and Mexican Commissioners listed with signatures. Map in black and white and showing 20-foot contours, railroads, survey markers, landmarks, vegetation, watercourses, roads, hachures for edges of mesas, and boundary line. 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.

  7. Title: Hunters Point & India Basin Industrial Park (Raster Image)

    • Not specified
    • 2022
    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of Hunters Point & India Basin Industrial Park in San Francisco. This map was originally created by the Bayview-Hunters Point Joint Housing Committee and the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency in 1969. A scanned version of this map was georeferenced as part of the Imagined San Francisco project. This project traces the history of urban planning in San Francisco, placing special emphasis on unrealized schemes. Rather than using visual material simply to illustrate outcomes, Imagined San Francisco uses historical plans, maps, architectural renderings, and photographs to show what might have been. By enabling users to layer a series of urban plans, the project presents the city not only as a sequence of material changes, but also as a contingent process and a battleground for political power. Savvy institutional actors--like banks, developers, and many public officials--understood that in some cases to clearly articulate their interests would be to invite challenges. That means that textual sources like newspapers and municipal reports are limited in what they can tell researchers about the shape of political power. Urban plans, however, often speak volumes about interests and dynamics upon which textual sources remain silent. Mortgage lenders, for example, apparently thought it unwise to state that they wished to see a poor neighborhood cleared, to be replaced with a freeway onramp. Yet visual analysis of planning proposals makes that interest plain. So in the process of showing how the city might have looked, Imagined San Francisco also shows how political power actually was negotiated and exercised.

  8. Title: Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, 1852 (Raster Image)

    • Raster data
    • 2006
    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Map of Boston Harbor : showing Commissioners' lines, wharves &c., prepared by order of the Harbor Committee of the City Council of 1852 under the direction of E.S. Chesbrough, city engineer ; drawn by Charles Leonard & M.W. Nicoll. It was published in 1852. Scale [ca. 1:20,000]. Covers Boston Harbor, Boston Harbor Islands, portions of the Charles River, the Mystic River, Boston, Winthrop, Revere, Chelsea, Everett, Somerville, Cambridge, and Hull, Massachusetts. 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, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as the Harbor Commissioners' lines, wharves, drainage, rivers, islands, roads, railroads, bridges, selected buildings, the contemporary and historic (circa 1630) Boston shoreline and more. Harbor depths are shown by contours. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps of Massachusetts 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 (1755-1922), scales, and purposes. The digitized selection includes maps of: the state, Massachusetts counties, town surveys, coastal features, real property, parks, cemeteries, railroads, roads, public works projects, etc.

  11. Title: Heat Flow, Azerbaijan

    • Point data
    • 2016
    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile contains heat flow data for Azerbaijan compiled from sources with an unknown date. Heat flow is a measure of heat loss across the surface of the Earth and is useful for modeling recent tectonic activity, transport of heat by groundwater, variations in concentrations of the radiogenic elements U, Th and K, glacial dynamics, and recent changes in climate. See attibute table and supplemental documentation for more detail. Global heat flow data are maintained by the International Heat Flow Commission (IHFC) of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI).
