Alexander, Walter E. Wall, Surveyor. Andrew B. Graham Co., Lithographers, Washington, D.C. (1906) (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of Hawaii published in 1906. The map shows public lands; homestead settlement tracts; grazing, pineapple and sugar lands; forest reserves; forest lands not in reserves; wet lands (rice and taro); schools, post offices, etc. The original map appears in "Report of the Governor of the Territory of Hawaii to the Secretary of the Interior. 1906." 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.

  17. Title: Endemic Bird Areas in Kenya, 1998

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) in Kenya. EBAs are sites where two or more bird species of "restricted range" (less than 50,000 sq km) occur together in the same area. Most of Kenya’s EBAs are located outside of parks and other protected areas, and all overlap or border densely settled, intensively farmed landscapes. This data was used in Map 5.3 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Stattersfield, A.J., M.J. Crosby, A.J. Long, and D.C. Wege. (1998). Endemic Bird Areas in Kenya, 1998. BirdLife International. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/zr892st5071 Please note that this data is frequently updated. Please refer to Birdlife International's website for most updated versions and downloads: http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/index.html Data set is not for use in litigation.
