Professor School of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences, RMIT University, the wide access to relatively inexpensive or freeware computer software for map production and using the Internet and the World Wide Web (Web) for dissemination this process has been automated somewhat, enabling the production of products and (Web) publishing to be fairly straight-forward.

PublisherĬomposite map and Imagery and Base Maps Year The result is an exploration of time as well as space, a marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with innovative contemporary software tools. Cultural features on the maps can be compared to the modern satellite views using the slider bars to adjust transparency. Some of the maps fit perfectly in their modern spaces, while othersgenerally earlier period mapsreveal interesting geographical misconceptions of their time. Each map has been georeferenced by Rumsey, thus creating unique digital map images that allow the old maps to appear in their correct places on the modern globe. All the maps contain rich information about the past and represent a sampling of time periods, scales, and cartographic art, resulting in visual history stories that only old maps can tell. The historic map layers in the Google Earth Rumsey Map Collection have been selected by David Rumsey from his large collection of historical maps, as well as some from other collections with which he collaborates. At that time, he had at least one patent pending for a stereoscope used for aerial photograph interpretation. Ryker was listed in business as a map publisher (see Polk's Oakland 1938 Street and Avenue Guide) based at 1924 Franklin St., Oakland.

Colleagues included Lage Wernstedt of the U.S. Ryker teamed with various pilots beginning aerial photography services out of the Oakland Airport and throughout the West.

He married Charlotte Seward in the mid-1920s after divorcing, he married Esther Miriam Munson in 1936 Aerial Photographer Harrison Clay (Chesley) Ryker (1898-1981) was born in Oakdale, CA.

Handwritten date on index map indicates photographs taken in August, 1938. Relative heights frequently discernible based on shadow cast of objects and structures. Resolution generally better than one meter and much higher with high contrast features, for example the paint striping on a basketball court. This layer is a composite image of a set of 164 spectacular, large format, sharp, black and white vertical aerial photographs partially overlapping images covering San Francisco north of a line approximately between Merced Lake and Candlestick Point.
