  1. Title: Washington, D.C., 1933 (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Base map of the District of Columbia showing railroads, main thoroughfares, alley blocks, and public (government) buildings, base prepared in the Office of the Surveyor, D.C., by direction of the Engineer Commissioner, D.C. It was published in 1936. Scale [ca. 1:19,000]. Base map 'Complete to June 13, 1933.' The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Maryland State Plane Coordinate System Meters NAD83 (Fipszone 1900). 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, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as roads, railroads and stations, drainage, selected public buildings and points of interest, parks, cemeteries, and more. Also shows block numbers and proposed streets. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from The Harvard Map Collection as part of the Imaging the Urban Environment project. Maps selected for this project represent major urban areas and cities of the world, at various time periods. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features at a large scale. The selection represents a range of regions, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and purposes.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Topographical map of the District of Columbia and a portion of Virginia, compiled under the direction of Major G.J. Lydecker, Corps of Engineers, Engineer Commissioner D.C., by Captain F.V. Greene, Corps of Engineers ; drawn by W.T.O. Bruff. It was published in 1884. Scale [1:15,840]. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Maryland State Plane Coordinate System Meters NAD83 (Fipszone 1900). 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, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as roads, railroads, drainage, selected public buildings, selected private residences and names of landowners, built-up areas, parks, and more. Relief shown by contours. Depths shown by soundings. Includes source materials note.

  6. Title: (Los Angeles - San Bernardino Basin, circa 1880) (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a hand drawn map of the Los Angeles-San Bernadino Basin originally created by Wm. H. Hall, State Engineer, California c1880. The original map appears in 'History Of The Expedition Under The Command Of Captains Lewis And Clark, To The Sources Of The Missouri, Thence Across The Rocky Mountains And Down The River Columbia To The Pacific Ocean. Performed During The Years 1804-5-6. By order of the Government Of The United States. Prepared For The Press By Paul Allen, Esquire. In Two Volumes. Vol. I. Philadelphia: Published By Bradford And Inskeep, New York. J. Maxwell, Printer. 1814 ... Vol. II.'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.
