Abstract
A digitized version of Ian McHarg's original 1968 An Ecological Study for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area: Composite Intrinsic Suitability. These maps were the basis for the 1969 report An Ecological Study of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, which provided a framework for land use planning throughout the metro area.
Description
We used a scan of the 7 foot by 7 foot map (http://purl.umn.edu/261919) showing the Composite Intrinsic Suitability for the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. The original map author is Wallace, McHarg, Roberts and Todd in 1968. The scan was georeferenced (in UTM15 NAD83) and then polygons were digitized and verified by three individuals. There are over 13,000 polygons along with attribute data.
Funding information
Sponsorship: Borchert Map Library funded the digitization of the map.
