  7. Title: (Composite Map) (Facsimile) Rocque's Map of London. 1746 (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This raster layer is a georeferenced image of a map titled "Composite Map: (Facsimile) Rocque's Map of London. 1746." Published in 1919, this composite map is considered one of the best facsimiles of the original Rocque Map ("A plan of the cities of London and Westminster, and borough of Southwark"), created by John Rocque and first published in 1746. A scanned version of this map available from The David Rumsey Map Collection was georeferenced by the Kindred London mapping project. The broad goal of the Kindred London project is to create four digitized road networks from four historic maps of London that will be used for an online, interactive web platform that will allow users to experience what it would have been like to travel the streets of London.

  8. Title: Road Network, London, 1746

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile contains the road network digitized from a map entitled "Composite Map: (Facsimile) Rocque's Map of London. 1746." Published in 1919, this composite map is considered one of the best facsimiles of the original Rocque Map ("A plan of the cities of London and Westminster, and borough of Southwark"), created by John Rocque and first published in 1746. A scanned version of this map available from The David Rumsey Map Collection was georeferenced by the Kindred London mapping project. Segments of roads, paths, bridges, tunnels, water crossings, and stairs, were digitized using route name and type, traffic volume, and access. The broad goal of the Kindred London project is to create four digitized road networks from four historic maps of London that will be used for an online, interactive web platform that will allow users to experience what it would have been like to travel the streets of London.

  9. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Land Use (January 2002)

    Contributors:

    Summary: The MassGIS Land Use datalayer has 37 land use classifications interpreted from 1:25,000 aerial photography. Coverage is complete statewide for 1971, 1985, and 1999. Additionally, more than half the state was interpreted from aerial photography flown during 1990, 1991, 1992, 1995 or 1997. The 15 towns on Cape Cod also contain land use data for 1951. Please see the Land Use Status Map (http://www.mass.gov/mgis/st_lus.htm), which displays the years for which land use data were interpreted for each town. The year of most recent photography used for land use data interpretation is stored in a single statewide coverage called LUSTAT (http://www.mass.gov/mgis/ftplus.htm). This layer was necessitated because some towns contain partial coverage for a certain year, which eliminated the one-to-one link between town-ID and year.
