Early American Maps by Jedidiah Morse Other map pages: Locations Cartographers Eighteenth century maps by Jedidiah Morse. From The American Universal Geography (1796) and The American Gazetteer (1797). Engravings by Amos Doolittle, Benjamin Callender and Samuel Hill. With folds as issued. Very good condition, except as noted. A series of late eighteenth century maps of various American states and territories. These maps are by Jedidiah Morse, one of the most influential of the early American cartographers. Some were originally drawn by other cartographers such as Osgood Carleton and J. Denison. Amos Doolittle, Benjamin Callender and Samuel Hill, the engravers, are some other of the most important names in early American printmaking. These maps are of considerable interest both because of the detailed information they provide on the United States at the end of the eighteenth century and because they are among the best examples of early American mapmaking.

The Massachusetts USDA-NRCS, working in cooperation with Mass/GIS and the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture are in the process of digitizing published soil surveys in Massachusetts. The digital maps allow soil survey information to be used with a geographic information system (GIS) along with other resource inventory maps and databases. A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information (i.e. spatial data). This system should include hardware, software, data and staff. Geographic information systems belong to a family of mapping and drafting programs that includes computer-aided design (CAD) and automated mapping and facilities management (AM/FM). GIS is distinguished from CAD and AM/FM by its capacity to perform complicated analytical functions that often include combining information from different sources to derive meaningful relationships.

News Room Educational Resources Order an Expedition Guide Contact Us Earthwatch Institute News Room Released: January 29, 2003 Earthwatch Combats Geographic Illiteracy National Geographic Society Grant will send teachers to conservation hotspots in Brazil and U.S, allowing students to apply global lessons locally. MAYNARD. MA 24 teachers from six states - California, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and Washington – will venture to the vast wetlands of Brazil’s Pantanal and to the Skagit River watershed of Washington this summer to participate in conservation research projects as part of a $75,000 grant award Earthwatch Institute has received from National Geographic Society Education Foundation (NGSEF). Earthwatch’s "Strengthening Geography in Schools through Conservation Field Work and Collaboration" is strategically designed to address the lack of geographic knowledge among students in the United States. "This innovative project will help students become stewards of our natural and cultural resources,” said Barbara Chow, Executive Director of the Society’s Education Foundation. “Giving these teachers a first-hand look at the realities of conservation issues will enliven their teaching.” The project will send 24 geography/science educators to conservation projects in the Pantanal wetlands in Brazil and the Skagit River watershed in Washington State. Through subsequent workshops and websites, these teachers expect to reach another 2,400 K-12 teachers and 240,000 students with geography and conservation lessons linking field research to local environmental issues.
