    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Effigies ampli Regni auriferi Guineae in Africa siti, extensum inde ad insulis Atlanticis, vulgo dictis, de Cabo Verde : ad flumen Benin, us[que], ad cujus ripam sita est Regia urbs et magna Benin, at[que] inde ad promontorium Lopi Gonsalvi, delineata per S. Rovelascum, et politioribus lineamentis figurata per Lodovicum Texeram, protocosmographum Regis Hispaniarum ; Baptista Doetechomius sculpsit ; Carolus Allardt excudit. It was published by Carolus Allardt ca. 1690. Scale [ca. 1:8,000,000]. Covers portions of West and Central Africa. Map in Latin and Portuguese.The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the World Miller Cylindrical projected coordinate system. 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.

These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

  10. Title: Hunters Point & India Basin Industrial Park (Raster Image)

    • Not specified
    • 2022
    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of Hunters Point & India Basin Industrial Park in San Francisco. This map was originally created by the Bayview-Hunters Point Joint Housing Committee and the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency in 1969. A scanned version of this map was georeferenced as part of the Imagined San Francisco project. This project traces the history of urban planning in San Francisco, placing special emphasis on unrealized schemes. Rather than using visual material simply to illustrate outcomes, Imagined San Francisco uses historical plans, maps, architectural renderings, and photographs to show what might have been. By enabling users to layer a series of urban plans, the project presents the city not only as a sequence of material changes, but also as a contingent process and a battleground for political power. Savvy institutional actors--like banks, developers, and many public officials--understood that in some cases to clearly articulate their interests would be to invite challenges. That means that textual sources like newspapers and municipal reports are limited in what they can tell researchers about the shape of political power. Urban plans, however, often speak volumes about interests and dynamics upon which textual sources remain silent. Mortgage lenders, for example, apparently thought it unwise to state that they wished to see a poor neighborhood cleared, to be replaced with a freeway onramp. Yet visual analysis of planning proposals makes that interest plain. So in the process of showing how the city might have looked, Imagined San Francisco also shows how political power actually was negotiated and exercised.
