Notas do Editor
- On December 1, 2007, Washington College, and its Department of Sociology and Anthropology received more than $95,000 from the State of Maryland’s GOCCP Statistical Analysis Center to support an assessment of regional crime mapping across Caroline, Cecil, Kent, Talbot and Queen Anne’s counties and their inclusive municipalities and towns. The project is evaluating current crime data collection methods and will conduct a pilot project that explores the benefits of regionalization of mapping resources
- The Chestertown Historic Geography project will create a Geographic Information System for the town of Chestertown. It will use the historic Sanborn maps and census data to create interactive maps that highlight historic properties and allow for the user to analyze demographic trends. The final product will be made freely available to members of the Chestertown and Kent County Historical Commission as well as to the Kent County Public Library and the Kent County School District.
- This project will georeference the Sanborn Maps to current Chestertown GIS data in order to digitize the maps and include relevant data. (1. of Sanborn/Picture of Digitized portion-with annotation) (2. Screen Shot of the Sanborn map georeferenced to current centerline data. Screen Shot of a digitized portion of the Sanborn map The green represents a digitized building outline, the original Sanborn map can be seen underneath.)
- Access databases have been created to store the census data for the years 1900, 1910, and 1920. After the data is entered from the census records it will be linked to the specific addresses on the digitized Sanborn maps. At this point, the data can be used to analyze demographic variables over time and space. (1. Screen Shot of the 1920 Census Database, Sheet Number 1A) (2. Screen Shot of the 1920 Access Database)
- Additionally, we will be linking historic photographs, deeds, and additional records to the address points. The historic photographs also allow us to recreate the houses in 3D to create a 3D model of historic Chestertown.
- Soil types, available natural resources such as waterways, and landscape conditions such as topography, were used to create the Predictive Model. Washington College Field School students survey a plowed field to test the Predictive Model. Survey areas and new sites found are displayed as polygons. These are hyperlinked to Site Data Forms and scanned artifact assemblages. Surveys yield a variety of artifacts from prehistoric spear points to historic pottery, indicating continued land use patterns within the study area
- All information is carefully recorded on Maryland Archaeological Site Data Forms. This includes all location, environmental, technical, and diagnostic data as collected per site. This data is currently being analyzed to determine a variety of information. The size and number of new archaeological sites as well the range of sites in relation to the Archaeological Predictive Model zones will provide supporting evidence for the Predictive Model study.
- Samantha has been involved with two projects this semester. She has been working with Carl Gallegos and the Center for Environment and Society on the Tree Inventory for the Chestertown Greening Initiative. She has also worked with Kascie Herron the Sassafras Riverkeeper on mapping stream health of the Sassafras.
- Samantha started mapping the tree canopy coverage of Chestertown during the spring semester of 2008. This semester she has been using the canopy layer she created to run analyses with a program called CITYgreen to determine things such as water runoff and carbon sequestration. By running these analyses Carl hopes to determine how drastically these would change if the tree canopy were to be increased by 40%.
- For the latter half of this semester Samantha has been working with the Sassafras River Association to map water quality along the River. She has made maps for pH, phosphate, turbidity and Nitrogen levels of the water. The data she used was from the past three years. She has also created a map to show where the tributaries of the Sassafras River intersect with roads to make sampling easier for the volunteers.
