Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of Mexico City originally created by J.P. Ferry in 1883. This map shows businesses in the blocks just west of the Zocalo in Mexico City. 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: Maps of wind-wave height on Minnesota lake shorelines
Contributors:- Vector data ; Point data ; Polygon data
- 2022
Summary: This data set provides maps of typical wind-wave height and energy on Minnesota lakes to inform shoreline and near-shore habitat restoration projects. The data set consists of a set of ArcMap shape files which map out simulated wave height and energy parameters for a series of points around the shoreline of 460 lakes in Minnesota, with separate files for annual wave statistics and monthly wave statistics. The wave statistics were calculated for each lake based on airport wind data and the open water distance (fetch) across the lake for each wind direction. Each shapefile contains information on multiple wave statistics, including the mean and significant wave height, the number of days wave height exceeds thresholds, and cumulative wave energy over the time period. There are a total of 11 shapefiles in this data set, including one file for annual wave statistics (Annual_WaveStats), 9 files for monthly wave statistics for April through December (e.g. April_WaveStats.shp) , and a shapefile giving the lake polygons for the 460 Minnesota lakes included in this study (Study_Lakes.shp). Each shapefile is packaged for download in .zip format.
