1965
Not owned by MIT (Owned by CUGIR, Cornell University)

Contributors:

Summary: Various county departments, local municipal agencies, and other not-for-profit organizations have identified the need for a digital soil coverage data set for Tompkins County, NY. The Tompkins County ITS GIS Division initiated and developed a digital soil coverage from the official analog soil map series produced and published by the United States Geology Survey (USGS) and Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. The field survey has been conducted during the 60es. To provide a GIS countywide coverage that consists of polygons defining the soils boundaries and to add enough basic attributes to achieve a fundamental degree of categorization. Open, all-purpose data set.

Title: Hopkins Marine Life Refuge, Pacific Grove, California, 1931-1984

Polygon data
2004
Not owned by MIT (Owned by Stanford)

Summary: This polygon shapefile contains the original boundary of the Hopkins Marine Life Refuge (HMLR) as defined in Pacific Grove city ordinance No. 284 in 1931. This legislation defined the boundaries of the refuge and stated that collecting marine invertebrates or plants within the area was unlawful if performed by any person other than an affiliate or licensee of Stanford University or the University of California. The essential features of this important legislation were retained when it was superceded by sections 10657 and 10901 of the California Fish and Game Code nearly 30 years later. HMLR received additional protection in 1974 when the California State Water Resources Control Board designated it as an Area of Special Biological Significance. This designation ensures that the coastal water remains free of chemical and thermal pollution. In 1984 legislative changes were made in the California Fish and Game Code sections pertaining to HMLR (sections 10502, 10502.5, 10657, 10657.5, and 10901). The result of this legislation is that 1) a Director of the HMLR has been appointed to issue permits for scientific collecting within the refuge; 2) taking fish, marine invertebrates and plants without such a permit is prohibited; and 3) the boundaries on two sides of the refuge were extended to coincide with the Pacific Grove Marine Gardens Fish Refuge. The accuracy of these data is subject to interpretation of boundary definitation at time of creation.

Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/xf457bp9996. city ordinance No. 284 states "The Hopkins Marine Life Refuge embraces the land and ocean water from the highest tide line situated between the northerly extension of the west side of 3rd street, to the northerly extension of the west side of Eardley Avenue, all within the limits of Pacific Grove, designated as District No. 16, and extends out into the bay to a distance of 1,000 feet from the high tide land. The shore lands makes a deep outward curve into the bay between the E. and W. limits of this refuge. Situated on the land within the curve are the Hopkins Marine Laboratories, owned and controlled by Stanford University.

Title: Hewatt Transect, Hopkins Marine Life Refuge, Pacific Grove, California, 2004

Line data
2004
Not owned by MIT (Owned by Stanford)

Contributors:

Summary: This line shapefile represents Hewatt's Transect, located in the Hopkins Marine Life Refuge, Pacific Grove, California. In 1931, a graduate student at Hopkins Marine Station (HMS), Willis Hewatt, took an inventory of invertebrates living along a strip of intertidal rocks 108 yards long and a yard wide. This transect represents the original survey area. These data were provided by Carolyn Sotka, HMS. A transect is line across a habitat or part of a habitat. It can be as simple as a string or rope placed in a line on the ground. The number of organisms of each species can be observed and recorded at regular intervals along the transect. These data are intended for researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production.
