The map shown above represents a synthesis of various independent field studies this century. These are in chronological order: the Linguistic Atlas fieldwork begun under the direction of Hans Kurath in the 1930's; the informal but extensive personal observations of Charles Thomas in the 1940's; the DARE fieldwork of the 1960's under Frederic Cassidy; and the Phonological Atlas fieldwork of William Labov during the 1990's. Although it may seem that a great amount of data has been collected over a short time span, the shifts in American dialects this century have been rapid enough to outpace the data collection. What appears to be a well-entrenched dialect marker today such as the Northern Cities Shift, may barely appear in earlier studiesaffecting both classification and mapping. Nevertheless, some basic observations on current American linguistic geography can be made.

Geographic Information System Resources Site maintained by Glenn A. Richard at the Earth Science Educational Resource Center What are geographic information systems? Geographic information systems (GIS) consist of software and data used for working with all kinds of geographic information. These systems are used by many public agencies, educational institutions, corporations, businesses and organizations to manage data that is essential for their operations. Some of the leading brands of GIS software are Environmental Systems Research Institute MapInfo and Generic Mapping Tool . An example of an agency that uses GIS data in many interesting ways is the New York City Department of City Planning GIS data is available in numerous formats. Perhaps the most familar and easiest-to-use format is raster images, which include jpeg and gif images commonly available on the Web as well as tiff and MrSID images. Any of these types of images can be opened in GIS software, but in order to be able to assign the image to a particular place on the Earth's surface, the software needs location data. One example of this form of information is a world file. It generally provides information on a) the real world coordinates of the upper-left hand corner of the image, b) the real-world dimensions represented by a pixel, and c) rotation factors. For ESRI software, a world file that accompanies a MrSID image (.sid) would have an .sdw extension. Many GIS data formats consist of vectorized information rather than raster image data. Shapefiles are among the most common forms of vectorized data. These files are used to represent objects of a particular type of geographic feature. For example, a shapefile may store data on the lakes in Adirondacks. A map of these lakes can be created by opening the file in GIS mapping software. Each individual lake has data associated with it and can be selected as a separate object. The data for the lake can be analyzed and its shape can be edited. For a lake, the data will certainly describe its outline, and possibly its depth, pH, dissolved oxygen levels, fish species present and ownership. This information may be assigned to particular dates since it can change with time.

91. New York City’s New Base Map hope for the Geographic Information System (GIS) user community. In the early 1990’ssteps were taken to develop a planimetric base map for the new york City http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc01/professional/papers/pap949/p949.htm

New York City’s New Base Map The Holy Grail? Virginia Richter and Gary Ostroff, P.E. PRESENTED AT THE TWENTYFIRST ESRI USERS CONFERENCE July 9-13, 2001 Abstract New York City (NYC), a city dating back to the infancy of this country, is still in a state of flux. Cartographers are still trying to deal with the one city, many base map dilemma and HydroQual is no different. HydroQual has been trying to depict various aspects of the city, uniformly for the last 20 years and to no avail. We will discuss the many base maps of NYC as well as the eagerly anticipated new planimetric base map. Background The earliest explorers to hit the New York area arrived 25,000 years ago. They were descendants of the settlers that crossed the Bering Land Bridge from Siberia to Alaska. Manhatta (as it was called by the Indians) was far from pristine when the Europeans started to arrive. The earliest explorers, Hudson, Verrazano and Columbus all came to the "New World" in search of trade, jewels and gold. Little did they know what they would start! The geography of Manhattan began to feel the lasting impacts of European settlers as far back as the 1600’s. Boundaries, sheep pasture, sawmills and Heerewegh, "The Long Highway" (Broadway) all started to make their marks on the landscape that would become New York City (see figure 1). Broadway is one of many irregular roads that date back to the time of the Dutch. Most of the unusual street patterns located near the tip of Manhattan date back to the early 17

94. Rare Books: Smith Geography Education Collection, 1850-1900 p. 78 Cornell, 1882, p. 79 Sarah Sophie Cornell, Cornell s Physical geography (NewYork D. Appleton The maps in this volume by her mentor, Adolph von Steinwehr http://www.lib.ksu.edu/depts/spec/rarebooks/geography/1850.html

During the latter half of the 19th century, geography continued to be included in American schools as a separate subject. It was taught in elementary as well as secondary schools. Illustrations and maps became more detailed and color was added to many books. Content during this period is highly reflective of the times in which they were published, presenting a variety of biases and topics acceptable to the American audience. Atlases and gazetteers, some general (such as the World Atlas) and some specific (such as the Biblical Gazetteer) appear to have developed along with maps and geography textbooks. Terra Incognita The interior of Africa continued to be a mysterious or "dark" place to the Western world until the early 20th century. European colonial powers frequently discouraged geographers with tales of cannibalism, impassable deserts, dense jungles, and ferocious animals. By doing so, they protected their imperialist goals within the continent. In these three maps, all published within 26 years of each other, many of the features of Africa were unknown to American geographers. Note the similarities of the two maps published in the 1870s, but also note the improvements in the map published in Frye's 1896 textbook.

For the most part, this requirement is a county responsibility; however, the cities and towns of Westchester County are required to prepare and maintain tax maps, rather than the County. This same law prescribes that the State Board shall develop rules and regulations (9 NYCRR Part 189) for the preparation and maintenance of these tax maps and assigns important duties to the municipalities in New York State related to tax map preparation and maintenance.
