    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of Buenos Aires (1892) showing the city and the surrounding areas. Outside the immediate city, individual house structures are shown. The map appears in "Ciudad De Buenos - Aires Y Distrito Federal publicado por Pablo Ludwig Cartografo Segun los Datos oficiales y Observaciones propias. 1892. Es propiedad del Editor. Compilado, Dibujado y Grabado por Pablo Ludwig, Buenos Aires. Imp. Est. Grafico de Gunche, Wiebeck y Turtl. San Martin 315 Bs. A ... (inset map) Parque de Palermo. (inset map) Isla de Martin Garcia."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: National Census Barrio-Level Migration Indicators: Immigration and Internal Migration for the Dominican Republic, 2010

    • Polygon data
    • 2016
    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile represents basic population characteristics for barrios in the Dominican Republic, collected by the Oficina Nacional de Estadística (ONE) as part of the Dominican Republic's Censo 2010. Indicators in this layer include immigration (i.e. was the place of birth or place of residence five years ago a foreign country?) and internal migration (i.e. was the place of birth or place of residence five years ago another town or municipality?). This layer was derived from a geodatabase (see the related data file) and was documented and restructured by East View Cartographic, Inc. The census data is provided at the barrio administrative level (ADM5) and includes 12,565 polygons with 756 attribute variables, split into 5 layers. Attribute descriptions retain original language names and unique identifier codes. All variable names were translated from Spanish. Field name prefixes, originally written with coded titles, were renamed to create unique names (e.g. Original variable of “H23_Si” was updated to D001 and given the alias “There is a newborn girl or boy that has not been previously mentioned: Yes[H23_Si]”, the letter D was given as it relates to the Demographic theme table. D = Demographic, E = Economic, H = Housing, M = Migration and S = Social). All variables from the original data were reviewed for completeness and organized into their relevant themes of Demographic, Economic, Housing, Migration and Social. In the attribute tables, all geographic names and codes are represented as text fields and census data are represented as doubles or long integers. Automated tools were run to apply aliases in the format “English translation field description[original language field description]”. Vector data was analyzed for accuracy and compared with national boundaries. This layer is part of a partnership project with East View Cartographic and IPUMS International, titled the Global Census Archive.
