American FactFinder (U.S. Census) New York, the " Empire State" Abbreviation: NY The Dutch were the first settlers in New York, establishing Fort Orange near Albany in 1624 and New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan a year later. After the English took over in the 1660s, the colony was renamed New York, after the Duke of York. One of the original 13 states to join the Union (it entered in 1788), New York is known as the "Empire State." The state includes everything from skyscrapers in Manhattan to rivers, mountains, and lakes in upstate New York. Niagara Falls is one of the chief attractions. New York is the l eading center of banking, finance and communication in the United States. Much of the state's greatness lies in exciting New York City, the largest city in the United States and the fourth largest city in the world; its many theaters, museums, and musical organizations make it one of the cultural centers of the Western Hemisphere.

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

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.

At certain points the modern and older studies clearly conflict: Schuylkill County with its consistent monophthongization would have been better classified with the Lehigh Valley and Reading in 1939; today, its acceptance of the low back merger shows that it clearly belongs to the Anthracite region.

The Basics Election Overview Who Gives Who Gets ... Money Is State Lines: Texans for Public Justice State Redistricting Legacy War Chests ... About Capital Eye WHERE THE MONEY IS: The Geography of Political Fundraising By LARRY MAKINSON All politics may be local, but political fundraising knows no geographic bounds. We’ve heard the story line a thousand times: "Presidential hopeful George W. Bush/Al Gore said today at a fundraiser in New York/Los Angeles/Houston/Chicago " It has become part of the fabric of modern political life that politicians are expected to crisscross the country from fundraiser to fundraiser, delivering speeches, making pronouncements and attacking their opponents. Why do the candidates descend with such regularity into places like Manhattan, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, and Houston? As Willie Sutton said so famously, when asked why he robbed banks, "That’s where the money is." And where exactly is that money? Scanning contributor lists is not the easiest way to get a handle on that. To see it most clearly, it takes a map. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a map is worth millions. And the very first thing you’ll find when charting the patterns of campaign contributions is that money has a geography all its own — a geography that’s not necessarily related to where people live. In the last election, just a tiny fraction of Americans — one-tenth of 1 percent — contributed $1,000 or more to a federal candidate, PAC, or party and people with that kind of disposable income are not randomly distributed in every neighborhood. Consider, for instance, the money that’s flowed in so far in southern California.

Reprinted from Bulletin No. 128, June 1982 by Mary Murphy It is impossible to do justice to forty years of activity in forty minutes, so I’ll just try to cover some of the highlights of our history. From the very beginning, the Geography and Map Division has had a reputation for being one of the most active and enthusiastic divisions in the Special Libraries Association and for sponsoring some of the most interesting programs, and almost from the beginning for publishing an excellent professional bulletin. The Geography and Map Division was founded as a Group of the Washington, D.C. Chapter on October 16, 1941, about a year after the Washington members of SLA withdrew from the Baltimore Chapter and established the Washington D.C. Chapter. The original petition for a Geography and Map Group was signed by nine SLA members: Julia F. Banks, Jane Brewer, Mary B. DeWitt, Miriam Ketchum, Clara E. LeGear, Dorothy C. Lewis, Esther A. Manion, Catherine H. Schmidt, and Mae W. Tucker. Two of them, Clara LeGear and Esther Ann Manion are still members of the Geography and Map Division. By July 31, 1943 the Group had grown to 20. In 1944 when membership reached 50, national status was requested. At that time Jane Brewer, Chairman of the national Membership Committee, said that the Geography and Map Group had been a means of bringing in about 25 new members to the Washington Chapter. It was noted in 1943-44 that the Geography and Map Group was responsible for about 40% of the total newspaper space devoted to the Washington chapter and groups of SLA; 23 of 56 columns were devoted to Geography and Map activities.

UNH DIMOND LIBRARY Historic USGS Maps of New England About the Collection The United States Geological Survey began its topographic atlas of the United States in 1882. The University of New Hampshire's Library's Government Documents Department holds a working collection of over 55,000 paper USGS maps. This online collection of over 1500 USGS topographic maps includes complete geographical coverage of New England and New York from the 1890s to 1950s. Current USGS topographic maps are readily available in both paper form from USGS directly, on CD-ROM, and on the internet. They are also often available in the larger public libraries. The historic maps are not readily available, which is why this web site was created. Quadrangles U.S. Geological Survey maps are published in increments of longitude and latitude. An individual 15 Minute Series map covers a rectangular area of 15 minutes. For example, the Concord quadrangle has a southern boundary of 43 degrees minutes and a northern boundary of 43 degrees 15 minutes. This can be confusing since most other maps focus on a particular geographic feature, such as a city, state, or metropolitan area. For example, see the Manchester, New Hampshire quadrangle map. Manchester is located in the northwest corner of the map, and while most of the city is located on one map, there are parts on three other adjacent maps. The center of Manchester is just south of 43 degrees north and just east of 71 degrees 30 minutes east. 7.5 Minute Series Maps, Scale 1:31680

Table of Contents New York Cartography in the Nineteenth Century Selected Reference Works Annotated Bibliography: Introduction Format: Entry by Date ... Keyword Index New York Cartography in the Nineteenth Century The mapping of New York State from 1784 to 1900 reflects the nationwide development of a uniquely American school of cartography, the changing focus and technology of mapping, and the initial influence of Simeon DeWitt, the State's first surveyor-general. Copper engraving, invented in Europe in the mid-fifteenth century, was the preferred method for cartographic printing for four centuries. Maps were reversed on a soft copper plate and the original engraved to produce a backwards-reading intaglio template. When ink was applied, it remained in the grooves of the plate, and then was absorbed when dampened paper was pressed over the copper plate to produce a map. The process enabled clear maps with fine detail, and copper plates could be easily re-engraved to make corrections. However, the soft copper did not withstand the wear of the printing press, and limited the number of copies produced to a maximum of about a thousand impressions. At the close of the Revolutionary period, the cartographic record consisted mainly of small scale North American maps, particularly of the north-eastern seaboard, and large scale campaign sketch maps produced by both the British and American forces. In the colonial period, and during the Revolution, the vast majority of North American maps were published in Europe, mainly by the British and French. Significant contributions were made in colonial mapping by Henry Popple (1733

Sisk Geographic Information Systems allow the overlaying of data layers as diverse as satellite imagery, plant surveys, and bird abundance data. Different data layers can be queried simultaneously, providing deeper insight than might be possible with traditional analytical approaches. Geographic Information systems (GIS) are the combination of spatially referenced data, appropriate computer hardware and software, and users competent to employ the data and technology to solve problems. GIS is typically used to store and analyze extensive information in a map-based format. This allows relatively easy retrieval and manipulation of information and provides new analytical capabilities based on spatial relationships between sites of interest and any combination of available data sets. GIS as link a between geography and related sciences Diverse data types, be they physical, biological, or cultural, can be incorporated into this landscape representation, using a topology that retains their inherent spatial relationships. These innovations have revolutionized the way we work with spatial data and they we think about maps themselves

Map DEC Maps Currently Available Online from DEC Environmental Navigator Benthic Mapper displays data about the Hudson River's sedimentary floor in its geographic context Tidal Wetlands Mapping Recreation Maps Lakes, fishing access, Wildlife Management Areas and other resources open to the public DEC works extensively with geographic information, usually in the form of maps. When facilities and resources are displayed on a map, it is possible to see ways in which they might either harm or benefit each other. For instance, when a map shows the location of a manufacturing facility relative to a water body, it is easier to visualize and protect against possible impacts. Or mapping parcels of open land may reveal ways to bridge a gap and create a larger range for sensitive animals or plants or a more usable area for recreation. In recent years, DEC has been intensively developing use of computerized Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS technology creates maps "on the fly" from geospatial data in DEC's data bases. A Geographic Information System is a collection of tools for managing and analyzing spatially related data. It establishes a framework that can facilitate the correlation of spatial data with the many attributes that are associated with it. GIS provides easy visual representation of spatial data and a consistent representation of this spatial data. The Environmental Navigator link from this page accesses a new interactive utility that will allow people to use GIS to locate certain types of facilities of environmental interest.
