  17. Title: A chart of the north east coast of Great Britain, 1821 (Raster Image)

    • Raster data
    • 2019
    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: A chart of the north east coast of Great Britain : including the islands of Orkney and Shetland : from the best authority. It was published by: Norie & Co. at the Navigation Warehouse and naval Academy, No. 167, leadenhall Street in 1821. Scale undetermined. Map in English. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the British National Grid (EPSG: 27700) coordinate system. All map features and collar and inset information are shown 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 layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of geographies, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

  18. Title: Africa (Raster Image)

    • Raster data
    • 2013
    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of an historic continental map of Africa from 1831, originally created by Henry Teesdale. 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, or other information associated with the principal map. This map was georeferenced by the Stanford University Geospatial Center using a Sinusoidal projection. This map is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps of Africa held at Stanford University Libraries. This historic paper map provides an historical perspective of the cultural and physical landscape during this time period. The wide range of information provided on these maps make them useful in the study of historic geography. As this map has been georeferenced, it also can be used as a background layer in conjunction with other GIS data. The horizontal positional accuracy of a raster image is approximately the same as the accuracy of the published source map. The lack of a greater accuracy is largely the result of the inaccuracies with the original measurements and possible distortions in the original paper map document. There may also be errors introduced during the digitizing and georeferencing process. In most cases, however, errors in the raster image are small compared with sources of error in the original map graphic. The RMS error for this map is 4137.66 meters. This value describes how consistent the transformation is between the different control points (links). The RMS error is only an assessment of the accuracy of the transformation.
