    • Mixed
    • 2002
    Contributors:

    Summary: TIGER 2002 contains over 27,000,000 ZIP+4 points, each one being linked to a specific street segment. This file has only Massachusetts information but information is available for every state in the GIS Lab, Rotch Library. Call number for this CD is G3701 P8 2004 S7. The files on the ZIP+4 CD are compressed in a .zip format, by state.Each ZIP+4 point was placed on the correct side at the middle of each street segment. In the case of a street segment with multiple vertices, the ZIP+4 point was placed on the appropriate side of the middle segment or middle vertix. Each point has been offset 25 feet, perpendicular to the street segment.

  3. Title: Topographical map of the Yosemite Valley and vicinity (Raster Image)

    • Raster data
    • 2015
    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of the Yosemite Valley in California, originally created by Geographical Surveys West of the 100th Meridian in 1883. The map appears in "Geographical Surveys West of the 100th Meridian (U.S.). Topographical atlas projected to illustrate explorations and surveys west of the 100th meridian of longitude."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.
