Cities and Towns, Mongolia, Tuva, & Surrounding Areas, 1943
Description:
This point dataset represents the cities, towns, and other populated places in and near Mongolia in 1943. The categories of features were described on the source map as "National capital," "Administrative district (Aimak) capital," "Important city or town," and "Other place." 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.
