Puerto Rico 1930 Georeferenced: A Coastal Mosaic
Description
The objective of this tool is to georeference aerial photographs from 1930 for the coastal areas of Puerto Rico—specifically the area covering at least one kilometer inland from the coastline—to a geographic coordinate system (NAD 83 PR State Plane), allowing for their for their use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and consequently spatial analysis with other geographic data of the island. The georeferenced photographs can be downloaded from the tool's website.
The site describes the procedure used for georeferencing the aerial photographs, provides a summary of the resulting coverage for Puerto Rico's coastal areas, and lists some of the limitations and use constraints of the georeferenced photographs.
