This dataset consists of cartographic data in digital line graph (DLG) form for the northeastern states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont). Information is presented on two planimetric base categories, political boundaries and administrative boundaries, each available in two formats: the topologically structured format and a simpler format optimized for graphic display. These DGL data can be used to plot base maps and for various kinds of spatial analysis. They may also be combined with other geographically referenced data to facilitate analysis, for example the Geographic Names Information System.

Digital line graph (DLG) data are digital representations of cartographic information. DLG's of map features are converted to digital form from maps and related sources. Intermediate-scale DLG data are derived from USGS 1:100,000-scale 30- by 60-minute quadrangle maps. If these maps are not available, Bureau of Land Management planimetric maps at a scale of 1: 100,000 are used. Intermediate-scale DLG's are sold in five categories: (1) Public Land Survey System; (2) boundaries (3) transportation; (4) hydrography; and (5) hypsography. All DLG data distributed by the USGS are DLG - Level 3 (DLG-3), which means the data contain a full range of attribute codes, have full topological structuring, and have passed certain quality-control checks.

Statistics illustrates consumption, production, prices, and trade of Maps and hydrographic or similar charts; (printed other than in book form), including wall maps, topographical plans and similar in the United States from 2007 to 2024.

Context

I created a dataset to help people create choropleth maps of United States states.

Content

One geojson to plot the countries borders, and one csv from the Census Bureau for the us population per state.

Inspiration

I think the best way to use this dataset is in joining it with other data. For example, I used this dataset to plot police killings using the data from https://www.kaggle.com/jpmiller/police-violence-in-the-us

The map graphic image at https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/63140561d34e36012efa2b7f?name=arsenic_map.png illustrates arsenic values, in micrograms per liter, for groundwater samples from about 31,000 wells and springs in 49 states compiled by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The map graphic illustrates an updated version of figure 1 from Ryker (2001). Cited Reference: Ryker, S.J., Nov. 2001, Mapping arsenic in groundwater-- A real need, but a hard problem: Geotimes Newsmagazine of the Earth Sciences, v. 46 no. 11, p. 34-36 at http://www.agiweb.org/geotimes/nov01/feature_Asmap.html. An excel tabular data file, a txt file, along with a GIS shape file of arsenic concentrations (20,043 samples collected by the USGS) for a subset of the sites shown on the map. Samples were collected between 1973 and 2001 and are provided for download.

The Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) is a raster image of a scanned USGS topographic map including the collar information, georeferenced to the UTM grid. This version of the Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) has been clipped to remove the collar (white border of the map) and has been reprojected to geographic coordinates.

Digital line graph (DLG) data are digital representations of cartographic information. DLGs of map features are converted to digital form from maps and related sources. Large-scale DLG data are derived from USGS 1:20,000-, 1: 24,000-, and 1: 25,000-scale 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps and are available in nine categories: (1) hypsography, (2) hydrography, (3)vegetative surface cover, (4) non-vegetative features, (5) boundaries, (6)survey control and markers, (7) transportation, (8) manmade features, and (9)Public Land Survey System. All DLG data distributed by the USGS are DLG - Level 3 (DLG-3), which means the data contain a full range of attribute codes, have full topological structuring, and have passed certain quality-control checks.

The Historical Map and Chart Collection of the Office of Coast Survey contains over 35000 historical maps and charts from the mid 1700s up through the 2020s, including the final cancelled editions of NOAA's raster charts. These images are available for viewing or download through the image catalog at https://historicalcharts.noaa.gov/. The Collection includes some of the nation's earliest nautical charts, hydrographic surveys, topographic surveys, bathymetric maps, annual reports, coast pilots, geodetic surveys, city plans, and Civil War battle maps. The Collection is a rich primary historical archive and a testament to the artistry of copper plate engraving technology of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Notable offerings include maps of Vancouver's explorations, the "Wilkes Atlas" of the U.S. Whistler's Anacapa Island chart, an extensive Civil War collection, a large scale topographic series of Washington, D.C., city plans, the reengraving of the famous 1792 L'Enfant and Ellicott plan for Washington D.C., and many artistic perspective sketches that were once an integral part of hydrographic surveys and published charts.

Standard 1. People use geographic representations and geospatial technologies to acquire, process and report information within a spatial context.Objectives: Students will be able to:

1. Create a custom map using Google Maps
2. Collect and plot data using Google MapsSummary: Students will learn the basics of Google Maps while using geospatial data to create their neighborhood map with the places they spend time. They will also collect data of their choice from another source (website, book, personal life) and plot the data using Google Maps.

The New York Times is releasing a series of data files with cumulative counts of coronavirus cases in the United States, at the state and county level, over time. We are compiling this time series data from state and local governments and health departments in an attempt to provide a complete record of the ongoing outbreak.

Since late January, The Times has tracked cases of coronavirus in real time as they were identified after testing. Because of the widespread shortage of testing, however, the data is necessarily limited in the picture it presents of the outbreak.

We have used this data to power our maps and reporting tracking the outbreak, and it is now being made available to the public in response to requests from researchers, scientists and government officials who would like access to the data to better understand the outbreak.

The data begins with the first reported coronavirus case in Washington State on Jan. 21, 2020. We will publish regular updates to the data in this repository.

The Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) is a raster image of a scanned USGS topographic map including the collar information, georeferenced to the UTM grid. A DRG is useful as a source or background layer in a GIS, as a means to perform quality assurance on other digital products, and as a source for the collection and revision of DLG data. DRG's can also be merged with other digital data, e.g. DEM's or DOQ's, to produce a hybrid digital file. To download this resource, please see the link provided.
