Abstract
This point dataset represents the radio station locations in and near Mongolia in 1943. The features were described on the source map as "Radio station." The dataset was developed as part of the Mongolian 20th-century Historical GIS Database project. It is designed to integrate and align well with other datasets created as part of the project. It can be used for creating small to medium size maps of historical Mongolia and for analysis, as appropriate to the resolution. This data is only as accurate as the source maps upon which it is based. As such, the UC Berkeley Library does not guarantee the accuracy of the data. Researchers should use their own judgement about appropriate uses for this data. Users should please acknowledge and cite the “Mongolian 20th-century Historical GIS Database project” in any derivative works. The source map for this dataset is: "U.S. Office of Strategic Services, Research and Analysis Branch. Outer Mongolia and Tannu Tuva [map]. Scale 1:5,100,000. [Washington, D.C.] : Reproduction Section, OSS, 1943."
Purpose
This dataset was developed as part of the Mongolian 20th-century Historical GIS Database project. It is designed to integrate and align well with other datasets created as part of the project. It can be used for creating small to medium size maps of historical Mongolia and for analysis, as appropriate to the resolution.
Supplemental Information
The Mongolian 20th-century Historical GIS Database project was initiated by Susan Powell in 2017 with support from the UC Berkeley Library, the American Center for Mongolian Studies, the Association of Asian Studies, and the Librarians Association of the University of California. The project’s initial scope includes boundaries, places, infrastructure, demographics, and environmental layers.
