But where can you get historical data in a format that is easy to use? Fortunately, there are a number of sources, including historic aerial photos, the Bordner Survey, US Geological Survey topographic maps, Public Land Survey records, and more. Join cartographer Howard Veregin to learn more about these sources and their main features.
Howard Veregin was appointed State Cartographer in September 2009. His previous positions include Director of Geographic Information Services at Rand McNally, Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and Assistant Professor of Geography at Kent State University.
