This is a location to upload KMLs and KMZs that are useful to the Vassar College community. I will try to put in the Subject line the name of the project or class that the KML is useful for.
If you need help with Google Earth, want to create a KML or KMZ, want me to create a Google Earth map, or want to load a KML in this space, just let me know. email: mestewart or phone: x7708
Enjoy! Meg

Vassar Farm Trails - 1997
Here are some trails collected back in about 1997 by Troy Welty using a big Trimble GPS receiver. Some of the trails have changed substantialy, but it gives an idea where the trails sort of exist.

An English professor used this 1562 map from Library of Congress Maps web site in a class, though she didn't use Google Earth. I made a quick KMZ out of it, to see if she'd like to use that in the future.
The cartographer is Diego Gutiérrez and the description says "Americae sive qvartae orbis partis nova et exactissima descriptio / avtore Diego Gvtiero Philippi Regis Hisp. etc. Cosmographo ; Hiero. [deleted] excvde 1562 ; Hieronymus [deleted] excude cum gratia et priuilegio 1562."
