NCED is currently involved in researching the effectiveness of anaglyph maps in the classroom and are working with educators and scientists to interpret various Earth-surface processes. Based on the findings of the research, various activities and interpretive information will be developed and available for educators to use in their classrooms. Keep checking back with this website because activities and maps are always being updated. We believe that anaglyph maps are an important tool in helping students see the world and are working to further develop materials and activities to support educators in their use of the maps.

This website has various 3-D maps and supporting materials that are available for download. Maps can be printed, viewed on computer monitors, or projected on to screens for larger audiences. Keep an eye on our website for more maps, activities and new information. Let us know how you use anaglyph maps in your classroom. Email any ideas or activities you have to ncedmaps@umn.edu

Anaglyph paper maps are a cost effective offshoot of the GeoWall Project. Geowall is a high end visualization tool developed for use in the University of Minnesota's Geology and Geophysics Department. Because of its effectiveness it has been expanded to 300 institutions across the United States. GeoWall projects 3-D images and allows students to see 3-D representations but is limited because of the technology. Paper maps are a cost effective solution that allows anaglyph technology to be used in classroom and field-based applications.

Maps are best when viewed with RED/CYAN anaglyph glasses!

A note on downloading: "viewable" maps are .jpg files; "high-quality downloads" are .tif files. While it is possible to view the latter in a web-browser in most cases, the download may be slow. As an alternative, try right-clicking on the link to the high-quality download and choosing "save" from the pop-up menu that results. Save the file to your own machine, then try opening the saved copy. This may be faster than clicking directly on the link to open it in the browser.

Circulator routes and local transportation options within Washington County, MN.Twin Cities Metro Transit route data provided by Metropolitan Council.This map is used by the Transportation Finder application

City and Township boundaries are used to display political boundaries that are used for taxation purposes, voting districts, and general purpose maps. The boundaries are based on a combination of the original Public Land Survey System (PLSS) and municipal city boundaries that have been annexed.Layer Location Land Records and Cadastral

The regional bikeways dataset was created by the Minnesota Dept of Transportation (MNDOT) in 2003. It has been maintained and updated by the Land Management Information Center (LMIC) through contract with the Metropolitan Council.

Dataset includes bicycle routes within nine Twin Cities metropolitan counties: Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington, and Wright. The bikeways are from a number of sources including the Metro Bicycle Network map book (2001), supplemented by information from maps published by city, state, county and regional government agencies, and city and county planning maps. The map shows on-road and off-road bikeways, proposed and existing bikeways, and includes bike lanes, bike-able road shoulders, and trails.

The majority of the bikeways follow road centerlines of the MNDOT BaseMap 2002-Roads. A description of the bikeways attributes and sources of data are included in Section 5 of this document - Entity and Attribute Overview.

This is the authoritative public subset of the compiled Minnesota statewide parcel dataset. By authoritative, we mean this is the official source of statewide parcel data compiled from the counties that have opted-in to be included. Counties are the authoritative source and owner of parcel data. Quarterly, MnGeo compiles and standardizes the county data using the Minnesota Geospatial Advisory Council's parcel data standard. In the compilation process, some data content is standardized or otherwise modified (capitalization and address parsing are the most common changes). The full opt-in compiled parcel metadata record can be found on the Minnesota Geospatial Commons.To obtain the most current and authoritative data in its original form, users are referred back to the respective county. Links to each county's downloadable and/or web-viewable data, where known, are available in the accompanying spatial metadata dataset.Known limitations:Data provided by counties are often limited to a subset of fields and may not be the same fields across all counties. The fields provided by a given county may change by quarter.The USECLASS and XUSECLASS fields, while often consistent within a county, are not standardized between counties.The OWN_ADDR_# and TAX_ADDR_# fields are often populated in ways not consistent with the standard. In particular, an address number/street address may not be in Line 1, and city/state/zip cannot be relied on to be in Line 3. Even within a single county, the city/state/zip line may not be in a consistent field.Parcels with addresses on fractional streets (5-1/2th Ave) cause issues for our address parser when parsing is needed for aggregation and may be missing some or all of the address data. Certain other oddly named streets can also cause this behavior.A maximum record count has been set on the mapping service. This limits the number of features that can be returned in a single request. It is set to balance usability and response time.

We collected open and publicly available data resources from the web from administrative, county- or state-level institutions in the United States and integrated and harmonized cadastral parcel data, tax assessment data, and building footprint data for 33 counties, where building footprint data and building construction year information was available. The result of this effort is a unique dataset which we call the Multi-Temporal Building Footprint Dataset for 33 U.S. Counties (MTBF-33). MTBF-33 contains over 6.2 million building footprints including their construction year, and is available in ESRI Shapefile format, and in two spatial reference systems: (a) WGS84 (EPSG:4326), and (b) NAD1983 Albers Conic Equal Area Projection (EPSG:5070; aka ESRI:102039 or SR-ORG:7480), organized per county. We compared the MTBF-33 dataset quantitatively to other building footprint data sources, achieving an overall F-1 score of 0.93. Moreover, we compared the MTBF-33 dataset qualitatively to urban extents from historical maps and find high levels of agreement. The MTBF-33 dataset can be used to support historical building stock assessments, to derive retrospective depictions of built-up areas from 1900 to 2015, at fine spatial and temporal grain and can be used for data validation purposes, or to train statistical learning approaches aiming to extract historical information on human settlements from remote sensing data, historical maps, or similar data sources.
