Trammel’s Trace on Printed Maps of the 19th Century Kelley A. Snowden Center for Regional Heritage Research, Stephen F. Austin State University ____________________________________________________________________________________ Trammel’s Trace was a nineteenth century road that traversed East Texas. Recognized today as a historic cartographic feature, this road appeared in different ways on nineteenth century printed published maps over time, and in the mid-to-late nineteenth centu- ry was reduced from a route to a fragment. This study is the first to examine the portrayal of the Trace as a historic cartographic feature, how it was presented to the general public, how its portrayal changed over time, and why it appears on the maps at all. In addition, this study is the first to use geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze the presentation of the Trace on printed, published maps.

  • Summer 2019 Vol. 15 No. 2 90Th Anniversary 2
    SUMMER 2019 VOL. 15 NO. 2 THE MAGAZINE OF CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY MARITIME ACADEMY ` 90TH ANNIVERSARY 2 | OCEANOGRAPHY MAJOR 4 | COMMENCEMENT 12 From the President Ninety years ago, an act of the California State Legislature signed by Governor C.C. Young established the California Nautical School. The landscape…or seascape…of the maritime profession began to seismically shift almost immediately as—even before the first cadets arrived at the former U.S. Navy coaling sheds in Tiburon—the nation’s economy was sinking into the Great Depression. Yet, within a decade the United States, and Cal Maritime, would find itself in a swift build up to World War II. Our entire Academy history has been routinely, and sometimes unevenly, influenced and impacted by changes and events that range from geopolitical to national to local. In every case during the last 90 years, Cal Maritime continually adapted to meet the chal- lenges and ferret out the opportunities presented by events not of our making. THE CAL MARITIME CAMPUS IN THE 1980s. It is probably fitting then that this issue of Cal Maritime magazine, which unabashedly celebrates our Academy’s 90th Anniversary, includes stories highlighting the current PRESIDENT THOMAS A. CROPPER evolution of our Academy; from emerging academic offerings and curricula to continuing improvement of hands-on learning facilities to campus-wide efforts to increase sustain- able practices. Properly anticipating and responding to change—often the kinds of change brought on by technology, markets and society—has sustained our wonderful Academy and the maritime profession it serves for nine decades. Leading that evolution—whether it be on the grounds of your alma mater or in the maritime profession through the stature of our alumni—allows the Cal Maritime family to shape solutions to the ever-changing needs of the maritime and related industries.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.

    • A MODEL FOR BIOMASS ASSESSMENT E-023 SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Stephen J. Walsh Associate Professor Dr. George p. Malanson Assistant Professor Dr. John D. Vitek Associate Professor Dr. David R. Butler Assistant Professor Department of Geography Oklahoma State University & in conjunction with USDA/Agricultural Research Service SUBMITTED TO: Dr. Norman N. Durham, Director Water Research Center Oklahoma State University March 14, 1983 Introduction The surface of the earth is a complex system responding to the input of energy, natural and human. Human use of the surface for maximum agricultural efficiency requires knowledge of the interactions of all variables involved in the system. Broad categories of phenomena, including the atmosphere (weather and climate), biosphere (vegetation, fauna, and human activity), hydrosphere (precipitation, runoff, infiltration, fluvial erosion, and evapotranspiration), and the lithosphere (soil, topography, and parent material), can be identified as the major variables in any assessment. Assessment of interactions requires data from various sources. The emergence of remote sensing as a source of data for assessments in the last decade permits the development of more accurate predictive models. Refinements in data acquisition, such as improved resolution, the use of radar, and the correlation of detailed surface observations with satellite overpasses, provide researchers with the capability to assess inter­ relationships and create accurate models. A conceptual model, Figure 1, illustrates the interaction of the Department of Geography/CARS and the USDA/Agricultural Research Service with components of the natural system for the purpose of creating a predictive model for biomass assessment~~CARS, the remote sensing center at Oklahoma State University, plus ARS of the USDA bring different skills to this joint research effort.
