Interactive Map of Geography Departments in the United States and Canada
| NOTE: The geography folks at Oklahoma
State have put a
similar map on the web, at http://www.ocgi.okstate.edu/geogdept.htm.
I encourage you to
check it out. For one thing, it's department data are more up to date
than mine. It also will give you additional data layers, such as
highways, counties, and urban areas, when you zoom in. However, it is
slower to use unless you have broadband, and I had problems several times
with the tool buttons not showing up after a zoom or refresh.
Oklahoma State's map was made with Internet Map Server technology (ArcIMS). When I started my map, this technology was not available; I made mine by making smart maps, turning them into dumb graphics, making image maps out of the dumb graphics, and then making html pages to put them in. This is one of the reasons I haven't updated the map very often--it is a cumbersome process. However, after looking at OK State's map, I think there is still a place for mine on the web, so I am working, off and on, on a major update, which I hope to have completed before the end of summer 2005. Many of the links are out of date and others need to be added. I also want to add institutions that offer Associate degrees in geography or geographic technology, and to include Mexico. To those of you who have been faithfully emailing me with corrections and additions, my thanks for your patience and apologies for the long delay. --GRD, rev 2/28/05 |
