    Extractions: Washington–Idaho Partnership Project Strong commercial and cultural ties across the Washington and Idaho State line unite the Washington-Idaho Partnership Project study area. The primary focus area is the Spokane to Coeur d'Alene urban corridor that extends from Spokane County, Washington, to Kootenai County, Idaho. Both counties have mature geographic information system (GIS) programs and can provide significant data to the project. Pend Oreille County, Washington, and Bonner County, Idaho, lie north of the primary focus area and are included in the project to investigate data-sharing opportunities in areas with less mature GIS programs. Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles Countywide digital orthophoto quadrangle (DOQ) mosaics were created from available 1-m digital orthophotographs covering the project area. Most of the available DOQs were created from 1998-99 vintage aerial photographs, with a few from 1992. Under a partnership agreement with Kootenai County, Idaho, 32 quarter-quadrangles were updated. The metadata (see Layer Metadata link on the viewer) lists the original source dates for all DOQs used in the mosaics. The mosaics were compressed at 10:1 using MrSID compression software. Some speckling in the mosaic images resulted from this compression. Future plans include serving uncompressed DOQs directly from the data server to avoid the speckling.

By the time the 1860 census returns were ready for tabulation, the nation was sinking into internal conflict. As a result, superintendent of the census Joseph C. G. Kennedy and his staff produced only an abbreviated set of reports, which included no graphic or cartographic representations. Census staff did, however, assist in the cartographic display of this new round of statistics in several other ways. Most importantly, they aided the war effort by preparing maps of Southern states for Union field commanders that displayed militarily vital topics: white population, slave population, predominant agricultural products (all by county), and rail and post-road transportation routes. Thematic maps using census statistics were also published privately to raise funds for sick and wounded Union soldiers and for other war-related efforts (Friis 1974). The First National Atlas: 1870 Top of Page The 1870 census provided the nation with an astounding array of graphic and cartographic depictions of its state of geographic knowledge, especially in superintendent of the census Francis A.

Acknowledgments Tracing the Maps in George Washington's Life "The want of accurate Maps of the Country which has hitherto been the Scene of War, has been a great disadvantage to me. I have in vain endeavored to procure them and have been obliged to make shift, with such sketches as I could trace from my own Observations . . . ." The George Washington Atlas , initially published in 1932 by the George Washington Bicentennial Committee, was the first attempt to compile a bibliography of maps drawn or annotated by George Washington. The atlas was conceived as part of the nationwide observance of the two hundredth anniversary of Washington's birth and identified 110 extant maps or surveys drawn or annotated by Washington. The editor, Colonel Lawrence Martin, chief of the Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress, attempted to list all known Washington maps and brought more than twenty new items to light. These range from Washington's first survey exercise in 1747 to his last survey of the Mount Vernon lands and include pencil sketches, pen and ink drawings, roughly drawn field surveys, and finished survey plats. Recent research has uncovered additional items not included in the 1932 inventory.

"Geography for Life: National Geography Standards 1994" is a major contribution to social studies and geographical education. It specifies what students in American schools should learn and be able to do with regard to geography. There are six essential elements of geography into which 18 standards are grouped. ELEMENT 1: THE WORLD IN SPATIAL TERMS Maps, photographs, and satellite images are principal tools for investigating the relationships between people, places, and environments. When information is shown using those tools, it is in a spatial context. The spatial context for geography is the Earth. The geographically informed person knows and understands: (Standard 1) How to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective. (Standard 2) How to use mental maps to organize information about people, places, and environments in a spatial context. (Standard 3) How to analyze the spatial organization of people, places, and environments on Earth's surface. ELEMENT 2: PLACES AND REGIONS People are attached to particular places and regions. Regions and places have been given meaning by people, and in turn those places and regions help people to organize and understand the complex world. The geographically informed person knows and understands: (Standard 4) The physical and human characteristics of places. (Standard 5) That people create regions to interpret Earth's complexity. (Standard 6) How culture and experience influence people's perceptions of places and regions.

    Extractions: PRB Websites The Washington, D.C., metropolitan area is a region of diversity and change. The District of Columbia and its surrounding counties are an example of demographic changes in U.S. metropolitan areas. This series of lessons explores the diversity of the Washington, D.C. area and focuses on the census data available to measure demographic change. Activities will explore immigration to the region, the diversity of the people who live there, the dynamics of families, and the impact of population growth. The 2000 Census provided researchers, policymakers, and the general public a wealth of data about our nation. This information complements this series by providing statistics for the D.C. metropolitan area on such topics as race and ethnicity, households, families, population size, and composition. These lessons were developed by Susan Dennis, a social studies teacher at Anacostia Senior High School, and Cheryl Lynn Stauffer, at the Population Reference Bureau. Lessons were developed with support from the Fowler Foundation.

    Extractions: Additional Resources Poverty and Welfare Research On average, poor populations in urban centers have greater spatial access to social services than poor populations living in suburban areas. In all three metropolitan areas, tracts with higher poverty rates are located in closer proximity to social service providers than tracts with lower poverty rates. On average, tracts with low poverty rates are within 1.5 miles of one-third, one-fifth, and one-quarter as many providers in metropolitan Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles respectively, as tracts with high poverty rates. While spatial access to social service providers is greatest in central city areas, potential demand for services is also much greater in central city areas than in suburban areas. Service providers in the city of Chicago are in proximity to ten times as many poor households as providers in suburban Chicago. Social service providers located in the District of Columbia are proximate to about six times more poor households than service providers in suburban Washington, depending on the particular service area. Because poverty is less centralized in Los Angeles, however, potential demand facing social service providers in central city is only about twice that of the potential demand in suburban areas.

The deep forests of the Olympic Peninsula are among the rainiest places in the world but the flat semi-desert land that lies east of the Cascade Mountains stretches for long distances without a single tree. Snow-covered peaks tower above the foothills and lowlands around them. Mount Rainier, the highest mountain, in the state, appears to "float" on the horizon, southeast of Seattle and Tacoma. In 1853, the Washington Territory was formed from part of the Oregon Territory. Its coastal location and Puget Sound harbors give it a leading role in trade with Alaska, Canada, and the Pacific Rim. The state has two major mountain rangesthe 7,000-foot Olympic Mountains surrounded by temperate rain forest on the peninsula west of Puget Sound, and the more majestic Cascade Range, which boasts the 14,410-foot Mount Rainier and the volcanic Mount St. Helens, which erupted twice in the 1980s.

I have been enjoying the sites, monuments and buildings that mark the events of our nation's past and allow the conduct of its present. Let me tell you about my home for the last few years... Washington, D.C. is a city, district, and the capital of the United States of America. It was established in 1790 as the site of the new nation's permanent capital. Named after the first U.S. president, George Washington, the city has served since 1800 as the home of our federal government. The city is located on the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. It is bordered on the north, east, and southeast by Maryland and on the southwest by Virginia. Washington's climate is hot and humid in the summer and cold and damp in the winter. It has a lovely spring, ushered in by glorious blooming of world famous cherry blossoms, and a spectacular fall marked by crisp temperatures and brilliant, paint box colors! Washington is home to many famous and interesting public buildings and monuments. The Capitol of the United States is located on a hill 88 feet above the Potomac. It consists of two wings that branch from a central rotunda.

    Extractions: A Roper poll commissioned by the National Geographic Society several years ago found that just 13 percent of Americans between the age of 18 and 24, or one in seven, could find Iraq on a map, and 83 percent could not locate Afghanistan. (Just over a third of the 18- to 24-year-olds polled, however, knew that the Marquesas Islands, featured in a previous season's "Survivor" television show, are in the South Pacific.) One such teacher is Terri Simons, a sixth-grade teacher from Eugene, Ore., who is a consulting member of a state-based network of teachers and parents called the National Geographic Alliance (www.ngsednet.org), run by the education arm of the National Geographic Society. Mrs. Simons' efforts include providing teachers with the resources to implement geography in their curriculums. "I say to colleagues: 'How do you learn about what happened if you don't know the where, because the where is practically the why?' I see geography as involving myself with the world," Mrs. Simons says, adding that "some of the best teaching methods are also the hardest to do. We have large class sizes, and it is almost suicidal to take 44 kids out on a mapping activity to go out and walk around and take notice of cultural and human characteristics of the environment."
