It is one of a set of four Soviet-produced maps showing strontium contamination from the same point in time. They were produced by the State Committee for Hydrometrology and Control of Natural Resources of the Soviet Union, which was in charge of producing contamination maps twice a year. An earlier version of the map served as the basis for the IAEA's map, in terms of contamination data. However, the two maps are very different in their portrayals of natural features, roads, and other basic elements of the map. In the process of verifying Soviet environmental monitoring data, the IAEA scientists instead often were faced with the task of reconciling two (or more) different basic accounts of the territory itself, and the level of contamination it contained. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/hist1952/original/c3358f4accae5041a458ba1a8b75d3af.jpg 81ee9e8e99508780f7e2a82a1f8eb2e1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Interestingly, it indicates that maps of Cesium-137 distribution were much more detailed than those of Strontium-90 from the same month and year; while only four maps were used to represent the contaminated territory, this document suggests that many more were produced to cover the same area for the Cesium maps. While it does not itself provide this information, it points to two important things: first, the state of published knowledge about contamination from the accident at a pivotal historical moment; and second the extent of relevant territory for those who made the maps. While I have not (yet) located the other maps, this document serves as a baseline for further research.

Title A name given to the resource Britain Colonial Mapping of Western Palestine in the Ottoman period Description An account of the resource The Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) of Great Britain conducted an extensive survey of Western Palestine from 1872-1877, during the Ottoman period. While the fund was headed by religious figures and academics, there was also involvement from the British government. Essentially, the religious and academic associations of the fund may have served as a front to allow the British government to collect intelligence on the region. For example, the British Foreign Office had documented involvement in the production and funding of the survey project, which increased with the Russo-Turkian War (1877-78). This survey was the most detailed and technologically advanced to date and was ultimately employed by the British in their invasion of Palestine in WWI. In addition to its attention to topographic detail, this mapping project is notable for its area of focus. Unlike other maps produced by Western colonial powers at the time, such as France and Germany, this map focuses exclusively on an area west of the Jordan river. Uncannily, its borders resemble those of the future British Mandate (1920-1948). The survey is also careful to include the significant holy sites of the New Testament. After the maps production, the British Foreign Office required that the PEF delay the publication of the maps for a year to control the dispersal of sensitive intelligence information. Thus, these maps should be evaluated both as products of academic and religious scholarship and as tools in the British colonial enterprise.

Title A name given to the resource Economic Development of the Tennessee River Region Description An account of the resource This collections seeks to understand how different entities depict the Tennessee River Valley region through mapping. The three maps included are made by three government organizations with profoundly different purposes. The analysis focuses on how natural features, rivers, lakes, and mountains, are represented. These different styles of representation indicate the different points of view of each different agency when it comes to developing the same landscape. Thus, these maps visually represent both the landscape and the economic potential of the region. Historical Map Fill out as many of these fields as possible.

As an official U.S.G.S., the map makes claims to objectively representing the landscape through topography. The consistency of representation across such a large region makes the map more difficult to read than a small-scale or pictorial map. Great Smoky Mountain National Park is not depicted in a different color, but is labelled by text. All the cities are made the same fluorescent orange color. Roads are the same color red on both the white and green background. Despite the consistency of representation across the entire landscape, the choices of the U.S.G.S. mapmakers still indicate a hierarchy of landscape. The "Great Smoky Mountain National Park" text is at least as large as the "Knoxville" toponym and spaced out to cover the large area which highlights the spatial importance of the mountain region. The orange color represents "populated places" according to the key, which would then imply that people only live in this landscape in named cities; the rest is untouched natural wilderness. The red roads contrast more with the white background as opposed to the green, which emphasizes the presence of road in non-forested places and tends to hide them in the green area. The faith to the scale of the natural features places lakes over rivers in the visual hierarchy. Lakes are blue polygons, rivers are small blue lines winding among the brown contour lines. Nonetheless, the water features of significance, lakes, rivers and ponds, are all represented on the map.
