Extractions: Edited by Patrick A. Morris Arrangement: This list includes 2,708 map and atlas descriptions arranged by subject headings comprised of place names followed by dates of situation. Note that county headings are interspersed with scattered city, state, and regional subject headings, as seen in the following examples: Each subject heading is followed by a title, publication information, and assorted notes. The last line of each entry records a Newberry Library call number, as in this example: Van Buren County (Mich.) - 1912 Duplicate records: Many atlases and maps showing more than one county are listed repeatedly under separate subject headings. Similarly, facsimile atlases comprised of two or more reprints of different maps of the same county are repeatedly listed by the dates of the originals. For example, the following record is repeated in full under separate subject headings for Holt County, Missouri in 1877, 1898, and 1918:

Rhode (pronounced "Road") Island is part of the New England region, and was one of the thirteen colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. It originally consisted of the mainland Providence Plantations, which was originally all part of the town of Providence, and Rhode Island (also known as Aquidneck Island), on which the city of Newport, and the towns of Middletown and Portsmouth are located. Despite the fact that most of the state is part of the mainland, the shortened name for the state of Rhode Island leads some out-of-staters to erroneously believe that the entire state is an island, while it is just a source of confusion for others. Rhode Island is known as "The Ocean State", due to its naval history and the fact that every point in the state is within 30 miles of sea water.

Although such facts are important for students to know, activity-based learning such as those in Operation RubyThroat may be more effective in teaching, learning, and retention than mere memorization. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is an ideal topic for discussion in geography because it breeds, migrates through, or spends the winter in all the countries of North and Central America. While learning about the natural history of this diminutive bird, students can also learn a great deal about geography. We hope you'll want to share your original hummingbird geography work through publication on Operation RubyThroat . If so, contact

Extractions: 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.
State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) Data Base For Rhode Island State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) data base for rhode island The soil maps for STATSGO are compiled by generalizing more detailed soil survey maps. http://www.ncgc.nrcs.usda.gov/products/datasets/statsgo/metadata/ri.html
Extractions: URL: Description: Abstract: This data set is a digital general soil association map developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. It consists of a broad based inventory of soils and nonsoil areas that occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. The soil maps for STATSGO are compiled by generalizing more detailed soil survey maps. Where more detailed soil survey maps are not available, data on geology, topography, vegetation, and climate are assembled, together with Land Remote Sensing Satellite (LANDSAT) images. Soils of like areas are studied, and the probable classification and extent of the soils are determined. Map unit composition for a STATSGO map is determined by transecting or sampling areas on the more detailed maps and expanding the data statistically to characterize the whole map unit.

Extractions: Winter 2004/2005 Search ArcNews Bringing Together Geography, Environmental Concerns, the Outdoors, and Science The Girl Scouts' work led to the creation of the first GIS badge (see above) in the state of Rhode Island. The scouting system is a perfect place to introduce GIS and GPS technology to young girls who might not be otherwise exposed to its importance. The technology brings together the Girl Scouts' core themes of geography, the environment, outdoors, and science, which become more crucial as society develops under the influence of technology. Girl Scouts of America was founded in 1912 with the purpose to help girls everywhere build character and gain skills for success in the real world. Since that time, the organization has molded itself to the needs and requirements of the changing world. With its purpose of inspiring girls and instilling strong values, leadership abilities, social conscience, and insight about their self-worth, it is inevitable that teaching technology has become an important part of the Girl Scouts' goals. "This is especially important in a time when technology is an intrinsic part of society, yet there continues to be fewer women in technology-based fields than men," says Peter August, professor of natural resource science at the University of Rhode Island. "To combat this problem, it is important to teach girls the value of technology at an early age."
